Drupal ships with just one comment type enabled, with the machine name comment. But if the Forum module is installed, there is also comment_forum. And site builders can define new comment types in the GUI.

How do I get a list the comment types' machine name? Or: How can I get all comments, regardless of name.

Comment types are an entity type, so you can load them as with any entity type, and get the machine name from CommentType::id():

$comment_types = array_map(
  function ($comment_type) {
    return $comment_type->id();
  },
  \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('comment_type')->loadMultiple()
);

Or to load all comments, regardless of type, you can use:

\Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('comment')->loadMultiple()
