So yeah... Just don't post the rest? I often go back to earlier comment drafts and edit / delete them when I realize deeper into the review they are no longer relevant. The review comments should not be a stream of consciousness but properly written feedback.

My advice would be to not take it so personally and assume good intentions from your reviewers.
If someone gave me feedback that caused a big course correction then I’d slap my forehead for missing it, thank them, then move on with my life. The extra feedback of other issues is a bonus. Asking them to spend more time reviewing their review is wasted effort.
