I have helped several people over the years configure those settings for their sites. People don't always work in the same realm or types of sites. For instance, I don't use forums on my sites.
I mean the "comment controls" shown to end-users on the node page, not the settings available to the admin, just to be clear. Even if there are examples of sites using these, it wouldn't be a hard thing to support in contrib. Such a module could also do Digg style "these comments are below your threshold" and other nice features, that also have no reason to be in core but might have valid use cases. Display order is a personal gripe though, I'll admit that ;)

About 1/5th of that page is taken up by comment control settings - I'm unaware of any drupal site in existence which uses them, and have an issue against D7 to remove them [1], and another one to remove the option for display order [2] - also rarely used, and easy to override in contrib by the time we'd be taking it out, if not already.
