One of them is that it doesn't pay much to vote on comments. There's not enough incentive for many users.
You have two things you can vote on:
- Posts (which give a reward)
- Comments (which give no reward)
You also have a finite amount of votes to maximize your total curation rewards. This leads people to vote primarily on Posts, so they earn more rewards.
If you were to eliminate curation rewards, then there's no difference in voting on a post or a comment, which would lead to an increase in votes on comments, which would lead to more comments...
That's my train of logic, not sure if it's solid or not yet, but that's where I'm at :)
