Yeah, but the Windows Firewall does manage to block WG packets, doesn't it?

Thus IMHO the security problem is on Comodo's side as they obviously
don't use the same system interface as the Windows firewall. It's their
job to intercept every packet, not Wireguard's to special-case feeding
the data to them.

Forcing each driver to load some 3rd-party tool if it happens to be
installed is not a viable solution. Nice of OpenVPN to work with Comodo,
but what if Domoco creates a competing product and then Mocodo comes
along and … you get the picture.
