It’s going to be easier to self-host a drop-in comment system than an entire dynamic site plus/including comment system.

If you want interactivity, we agree, you have to either run a server, or you have to use a 3rd party.
It's easier for a server to render markdown than it is for an SSG site to do server stuff.
Your suggestion for comments is to run a server/use a third party, and do SSG. My suggestion is to just run a server. One is clearly easier as it has fewer steps.
The idea that you can run a decent personal website without compromising on interactivity, and without running a server or using 3rd parties is a myth. As soon as you accept that you have to run a server, SSG becomes an unnecessary extra step.
