This happens regularly even for many LW regulars like Will Newsome.
(Though to be fair I think this sort of depends on your definition of “regularly”—I think over 95% of my comments aren’t downvoted, many of them getting 5 or more upvotes, in contrast with other contributors who get about 25% of their comments downvoted and usually end up leaving as a result.)
Why? This isn’t obvious to me. If the remaining comments are highly upvoted and of correspondingly high quality then it would make sense for them to stick around. Timtyler may be a in a similar category.

Well, if someone’s comments are downvoted that regularly and still they stay LW regulars, there’s something wrong.

If I counted right, only 9 of Timtyler’s last 100 comments have negative scores as of now.
25% would be a lot. It’d mean that you either don’t realize or don’t care that people don’t want to see some types of comments.
With them or with us?
Most likely with them.
