That's actually an excellent point about quote-posts creating a separate thread for comments, while boosts do not.
A lot of folks just see boosts as low-effort, which only serve to move a post many people already saw back up to the top of the timeline without anything new being added to the discussion.
Personally, I see the value of boosting separately from quote-posting, and I am glad Nostr has both options in most clients. I generally boost content that was posted at minimum an hour prior, and therefore may be beyond where anyone currently online would scroll, and which is worth reading on its own merits, without any additional comments required.
I do tend to quote-post more than boost, though.
