It would be bad to prevent deleting questions by simply commenting on them, because the comments could point out why the question actually can't be salvaged from OP's perspective. Currently, comments are the only way that ordinary users (without at least the "vote on holds" ability) can signal a real problem with a *new question*, so we should expect that bad questions will have comments on them that try to explain what needs to be fixed. If OP is not interested in fixing the question, there's no reason to keep it around.
