As an alternative, I think it would be a good idea if some people could detach such branches, moving the entire branch into a separate topic.
I would leave the top comment both as introduction for the new thread and at its original location, with a link to the new topic.
I also think it might be possible to somewhat automatically detect such branches. That would make it easier for the 'some' that get this power to detect them.
However, if one has such software, it might be better and easier to 100% automatically collapse all candidate threads with a generated remark "this appears to start a new topic", ideally with keywords describing what the topic is about)
