It's already what they are trying to do on mobile (first with NSFW content, but they blocked the old mobile interface...)
They're going to block NSFW for apps that use their new paid API too, last I heard. Which makes no sense but there you go. >.>
And yeah I suspect old reddit's days are numbered on desktop too.
Yes, removing NSFW from API was part of the initial announcement.
Today during the AMA, somebody asked about it and the CEO's reply was that because NSFW carries potential legal risk it was pulled from the API but would still be on reddit itself. Which is an answer that makes absolutely no sense.
Pretty clear the real intention was to make sure any apps that didn't die from being priced out would be lacking the horny content that brings people to the site.
