Because the users can go and make their own subreddits? That's how disputes with moderators used to be solved. The users dissatisfied with the moderators would just split off into their own sub. The moderators have no control over that.

The only thing that has changed is that Reddit is actively stepping in now, which they didn't used to do for these kinds of things.
