Phys. J. C 86, 988 (2026)], which investigates quantum resources in polarized hyperon--antihyperon systems using correlated dephasing channels with memory. Although the use of experimentally reconstructed spin-density matrices to characterize quantum correlations in hyperon production may be a good motivation, we argue that the interpretation of the hyperon--antihyperon pair as an open quantum system undergoing correlated environmental decoherence is not physically established. In particular, no physical environment or system--environment interaction responsible for the assumed correlated dephasing channel is identified, and hadronization cannot simply be interpreted as such an environmental dephasing process. Consequently, the claimed non-Markovianity, information backflow, and memory-assisted protection of quantum resources should be regarded as properties of a phenomenological channel rather than established physical effects in hyperon--antihyperon production. We also identify several technical and conceptual issues concerning the dephasing dynamics, entanglement quantification, basis dependence of coherence, and the claimed hierarchy of quantum resources. These issues call for a substantial revision of the physical interpretation and quantitative conclusions of the work. We hope that the present Comment will help clarify the distinction between phenomenological quantum-channel modeling and physically established dynamical mechanisms in high-energy particle systems, and thereby provide useful guidance for future studies and help avoid similar conceptual and technical issues.
