I was sympathetic to this change if only because I regard it as better for privacy that removed and deleted comments stay that way, it's annoying that if you deleted something there was an ability to see it again. Most of the time it was used for drama and shit-stirring, although I will admit it's a shame to lose some important threads that were removed. Also they would never have backtracked on this part because I am pretty sure it's been a long-standing issue with GDPR in the EU and finally came to bite them.

I would agree with you on deleted comments, but I disagree with you on removed comments. 9/10 times, the most interesting and well argued comments where hidden behind those, but they where removed because they didn't fit a subs bubble (looking at you /r/worldnews)
