I agree with your sentiment, that's what they should be, but time and time again we saw that it is not how they are used, downvotes mostly serve to mark disagreement , doesn't matter that you provide interesting discussion, if people disagree then the comment gets downvotes to oblivion. And the platform turns into an echo chamber where only one opinion can ever exist.
