I couldn't guess what technical limitations make these restrictions necessary. To live with them, you just need to cultivate the habit of enabling commenting as the very last step of preparing the PDF for review.
In your current circumstance, the workaround is to use Save As to make a new copy (not commenting-enabled) of the PDF. Then set the initial view (and make any other changes). When you're done, enable commenting and, when prompted for a file name and location, overwrite your previous commenting-enabled version.
