Simpler for who? In my opinion it makes for a simpler reader experiencer to at least have properly formatted quotes, bullet lists and links.

Simpler for the implementors.

Also simpler mentally when writing comments: this handful of markup is supported, period: just write a plain text comment, to show as plain text, no fancy formatting encouraged.
