Because 90% of their users don't care about APIs or 3rd party apps, they just want the content however reddit makes them consume it.

    This is correct. Most people I've spoken with are still willing to stick it out with reddit. The communities don't really exist elsewhere, and it's fun to scroll through a big thread with 1k comments sometimes. Something like r/NBA can't just pop up here or anywhere else. RSS + Lemmy is what I'm trying for the time being so we will see.
