I chuckled when I read your comment but Dezeen sends out these newsletters summarizing reader reactions to articles over the course of the week. It's a way of drawing attention to pieces they write, but also emphasizes the article as part of an extended discussion on a topic, and not the endpoint.
I actually appreciate it because it highlights the positive role that comments can play, and a contrast from some places where comment sections have been removed. It's not too different from HN I think in that sometimes the comments here are as valuable as the posted articles.
Having said all that, I think it would have been more in the spirit of the Dezeen newsletters to link to the original article. In this case, though, the original article (https://www.dezeen.com/2023/07/05/carol-ross-barney-skyscrap...) might not have the same reception here as at Dezeen; my guess is the OP was meaning to link to something to initiate discussion on the topic of whether skyscrapers are good or bad design, or are good or bad design in the current metropolitan context of many areas, and the article with the comments as a set was seen as accomplishing that.
