That's what this has always been about.

The shutdown of third-party apps and the "API exodus" was all because of reddit wanting people on the first-party platform where they have control.

Breaking the mobile web client is the same deal - they want people in app, because app is the most intrusive and least blockable, and where reddit can really monetise you.

Glad I bailed on reddit when I did.
