Because the whole third-party fiasco was treated as just the 'cool thing' to do. This is Reddit we're talking about here, the kind of site that sits, thousands to a few million users who all think they're one and two steps ahead of everyone else. The kind who think they know everything inside and out, 4-D chess .etc
So of course they'd be the kind to take something of a situation as to what happened when third-party development got gutted out and treat that as just a trend.
If that incident and the fact that Reddit now is an IPO hadn't changed enough minds, nothing will. They love the attention and any attention they get as well as the karma-farming validation whenever they complain about how "reddit sucks".
No, it's all for show. They're whores.
