Yes, we write comment papers. But the process is very very slow, so many don't bother.

I submitted a comment paper to a journal in March last year. The paper I was commenting on was from November 2014. My comment got accepted, after two rounds of peer review, in May this year. It will appear in the journal in July some time.

And that's fast by academic publishing standards. A flamewar that would take a day in an internet forum can smoulder for decades in academia, while the principals gather supporters and snipe at each other in conference sessions.
