I assume the only comment methods available in OpenStudio are associated with IDF objects because there isn't always a 1:1 correlation between OSM objects and IDF objects. OpenStudio sometimes tries to hide the gory details of EnergyPlus by using somewhat higher-level approaches (e.g., look at how EnergyPlus nodes are handled in OpenStudio). So if there was some way to add comments to an OSM object/field, there wouldn't necessarily be a good way to translate/preserve them in the IDF.
Thus, OpenStudio simply allows you to make comments directly on IDF objects/fields.
