That is simply not true, at last as of the master branch. Topics and replies can be hidden, deleted, or suppressed -- the same things that can be done to talk page revisions at this moment.
Take a look at this deleted topic at the test page that was deployed at en.wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topic:S214uoczkp47cfsx
Can you see its content? I definitely can. Had it contained sensible information, admins couldn't have done anything to remove it from sight. (I know this because they've tried): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Flow#Deletion_of_Wikipedia:Teah...
Indeed, the Flow equivalent is even superior in at least one aspect:
given that the actual comments are isolated and not differences between revision, supressing a comment containing libel that has gone unnoticed for a bit does *not* cause the history of the conversation to be mangled because intermediate diffs have to be suppressed as well.

That would be a good thing if it worked. That a feature has been implemented doesn't mean that it works as intended.
