They don't make a big impact on their own, but are part of a bigger effort to reduce latency in certain bots. The idea is to reduce the number of individual calls when possible, as we are limiting calls for rate limits through global locks. We spend a lot of time waiting on those locks, so reducing the number of calls can be valuable.

However, in most cases we don't actually need this data. I propose implementing an alternate method on PullRequest to retrieve ReviewComments as a list of regular Comment objects, without the file and line data.

Yes, we should.
