Hi there! You have a point there. However, this is not different to what actually happens all around the Internet or the real world itself.
While it is not against the community rules, I think Dev.to should not interfere as a "regulator". Like it or not, freedom of expressions is for all of us.
That said, I do think that this is not really about limit others' content, but to teach the readers, beginners or not, to be critic with what they read. Same as an average citizen should be. You might not have enough technical skills to question a post or statement, but you do have in your hand all the tools to search for other opinions on the same matter and extract your own conclusions.
And, you know what? Whoever is not interested in going through this process, will not be interested either in knowing if the post is right or not. There are people that are just ok with that.
I think you are right in your concern, but I also think that comments are just ok to politely point out something you don't agree with whether it is in its content, or its form.
Cheers!
