Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 from wordpress side

 It is a bug at least in part. Technically, the bug is that comment/note
 submissions via the REST API do not trigger notifications which is
 unexpected. Comments saved via the ajax route do trigger notifications.

 When we added the REST API comment route, I believe this was overlooked
 because we didn't use the comment route in core at the time. Now that we
 are - notes save via the REST comment route - the bug has become apparent.

 That said, to add the notifications for notes requires updating the
 notification message which isn't exactly fixing a bug.
