On the legacy platform, comments are pages within the "User blog comment" namespace, they need it to work. (These pages storing the comment contents are probably the best place where you can see that the idea of combining Forums and MediaWiki is not really... great.) Now with Discussions being the underlying system for comments, the namespace is of no good use anymore. The best reason for keeping it is uniformity.

Actually, it wasn't my intention to debate its existance, but just making note what I thought is an interesting matter. Especially since the namespace's name was kept and not changed to "User blog talk". Probably it's because some MW set-up config for the namespaces was copied from the legacy platform and such changes wouldn't be relevant. :)
