That predates widespread use of the internet. Also by the time Internet Explorer took off, COM files ceased to be relevant.

So no, COM files aren't relevant at all in this discussion.

Almost no one had internet access back then and Internet Explorer didn't even exist at the time of Windows 3.1's release. So still not relevant.
