Because servers create boundaries on what clients can do.
Mastodon doesn't support comment control. Other Fediverse server software, like pixelfed (npub1q03…622l), does.
This isn't to say that Mastodon is a "worse" service, just that there's certain functions that it does and doesn't support -- and a client can't add those functions.
And believe me, that's fine!
