To clarify, this is how comint enables Font Lock: (defcustom comint-mode-hook '(turn-on-font-lock) ...
Without delay-mode-hooks, this is executed at the end of the call to comint-mode. With delay-mode-hooks, it is run during the call to run-mode-hooks, just before your own hook. Note that a user can customize comint-mode-hook and remove the enabling of font-lock-mode. I did check that comint-mode does not load font-lock, so it only uses font-lock for font-lock-face.
