Gosh I HATE when I I stumble upon a reddit thread from Google when trying to solve a problem or something, and the comment which may have been the solution is removed or edited by one of those redact bots.

This is exactly the point of the deletion. Very few comments are actually crucial to the sum of human knowledge, proud as we are of some of them, but anything that makes Reddit more annoying decreases their chance of being profitable. And at the end of the day, people have a right to delete online comments if they want. (Also, most of Reddit is backed up somewhere, anyway, so anyone desperate for a specific post or comment can probably find it. ;) )
