Please, avoid "unfortunately". This reads kinda strange. Comments do break paragraphs, which is our design decision.

Again, this is not helpful as FAQ entry.

Why do we need to mention it here? If you really want to explain this problem, it should be a dedicated FAQ entry. Rendering Org files on Github and other sites has many more problems not limited to inline export snippets. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
