The moderators have said that it is because posts tend to cover a range of stuff, rendering a block-vote agree or disagree less useful. Comments, on the other hand, tend to be narrower, making agree/disagree more useful.
Moderators are invited to agree/disagree on the narrow topic of my characterisation of their reasoning. :)
Yeah, that makes sense, especially if combined with the feature that allows users to disagree with specific parts of the post, as Michael notes. (Though note that the disagree vote is anonymous, whereas disagreeing with a selection is public, so the two aren’t fully comparable.)
