That's unacceptable. The limitation is on LO to resolve, instead of
limiting/affecting the user, just because of a problem that LO is causing.
Additionally, that would alter how the spreadsheet looks, especially when
comparing with opening the same spreadsheet with any other tool. Think about a
cell with centered alignment, for instance.

Are you suggesting that the cell should be altered (in content and/or size)
every time a comment is either added or deleted? Or when opening older
spreadsheets?

LO already altered the presentation of the comments themselves with the way the
author and date+time info was forcibly added on every comment, whether the user
needs/wants that or not. More than one report was started related to that.
Users asked to improve the indicator because it bothers, and instead of
improving the documentation about how to avoid such issue (especially for
inexperienced users), LO made the indicator even bigger. And now there is this
idea that the presentation of the cell (content and/or size) has to change
because of the indicator? How many users would be "pleased" with that?
