The benefit to a forum is that posts with new comments move to the top. If a Reddit/Lemmy post gets a single new comment it may or may not be seen again by anyone except the OP or of the comment was a reply then to the op of the replied comment.
Some forums do have up/down votes as well as nested comments.
Lemmy does have this actually

and then there’s the “Active” sort, which is kind of a compromise
Neat! Now if I could see which of my subscriptions has new posts/comments.
You could force latest comment sort on the posts, but leave the comments sorting to the user.
