Description

From the documentation:

replies.comments[] A list of one or more replies to the top-level comment. Each item in the list is a comment resource.
The list contains a limited number of replies, and unless the number of items in the list equals the value of the snippet.totalReplyCount property, the list of replies is only a subset of the total number of replies available for the top-level comment. To retrieve all of the replies for the top-level comment, you need to call the comments.list method and use the parentId request parameter to identify the comment for which you want to retrieve replies.

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/commentThreads

I've addressed this in my fork by creating a new method get_comment_replies() that uses 'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/comments' instead of 'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/commentThreads' and takes the parentId as a parameter. The load_comments() method then calls this method if a topLevelComment has one or more replies.
