I don't think it matters what the real numbers are. We've all seen user ids with utterly unhelpful comments, and it stands to reason that some fraction of them were put in place because novice users felt obligated to include a comment. The first time I used gnupg this is exactly what I did, as evident in my old keys on the keyservers. Personally I've never seen a comment that helped me identify the owner of a key in a meaningful way. So since it occasionally causes silliness, and rarely or never to my knowledge helps, I would go so far as to say that use of comments should be strongly discouraged. --mjgoins
