The die was cast when Reddit decided to put the 3rd party apps out of business. Doubling down on that is only accelerating the decline. We've now reached the point where even if Reddit did some serious backpedaling, it wouldn't get some of its content creators back.

Yep. The majority of Reddit is lurkers. I don't have any data, but I would bet a higher percentage of content posters and creators were using 3P apps. The fediverse probably poached a lot of good content.
