There's nothing stopping somebody from deleting and resubmitting the question in a more manageable format.
This is a basically a public Q and A forum, and if the reason somebody didn't provide a constructive comment is because the question was horribly presented, they have every reason to say that.
Of course there are polite ways of delivering this, and impolite ways.
I generally notice the more rude ways on posts that aren't 'deeply meaningful', like "IIN I went shopping and somebody said I was pretty?!!?!?" Cue The Great Wall of China in text, without paragraphs. Rambling on and on and the title doesn't match the question if there even is a genuine question blah blah blah. Then people will say something akin to "Use paragraphs for fuck sake!" or TL,DR.
If it's something like "IIN I was abused?" - apart from that being a dumb question, it's probably a heartfelt post. People are more likely to be polite when criticising a horribly written question if it's about something emotionally sensitive. "Please use paragraphs."
Also, about resubmitting, people google if something is normal, think they've found a place where they'll find help, sign up and ask a question which takes a pretty long time (in internet-time 3 to 5 days is an eternity) to be moderated. So, yes, that would be an even longer delay for them to get a couple of answers, *if any*.
As long as they have provided an answer I think it's fine. That's what I've been saying. I haven't made a generalization as in asking people to respect bad writing in any case. It's basically what you described. The reason I made the story was that I had just seen a very rude comment like those again in a serious story.
Is it normal I've had it with this kind of comment?
