i personally think the value of the comments are worth leaving for people to find later even if Reddit does use them in an underhanded way.

As someone else brilliantly pointed out, leaving the comments hurts Reddit more than delete/edit.
Deleting/editing comments only hides the posts from the public. Reddit has the original posts, is ignoring all edits made to posts, and selling that original data.
