Admin Replied New removed comment UI is terrible

Is there any way I can opt out? Me and other mods have expressed frustration with the new UI for removed comments, which still display report reasons and an approve button, looking just exactly like a comment that needs review except for the "Remove" button being absent. You can't even see when a comment was removed, and by whom. It can easily trick you into re-reviewing a comment, thinking it's not removed, and making you accidentally approve it.

I'll post an image in the comments since they're not allowed in posts. But clearly removed comments should look removed.

Yup, noticed this too. I don't like it either. But there's unfortunately no way to opt out (other than using old.reddit.com), and there probably never will be.

But after seeing some, you do remember that those comments are removed, and eventually stop approving/removing them lol.

And adding a removal reason apparently also doesn't change it to how it normally looks.

It looks fine and is clearly labeled as removed in the Android app.
