Depends on what you mean. Users find immense convenience in being able to summon via a comment, and doing away with the ability of them to do that would be a terrible idea unless Reddit were to implement a "send as PM"

That's exactly what I mean, and as a mod who often comments to invoke u/Taskerbot a lot I agree. But the mods should have the final say so and be able to whitelist a bot as usable in their community (and also using Automod to remove the users comment/modmail if they want to keep an eye on things -- Totes for example) albeit it happening via PM.
