Those who use old reddit to get around it wouldn’t likely get the app anyway, so why even try blocking it?

Hard disagree.

How so? It already takes knowledge and effort, what would another hoop change?

The same reason new Reddit exists. The same reason they blocked third party apps from using their API; To increase engagement and serve you more ads more effectively.

If the gains outweigh the cost.
