This was explained in the original announcement thread. It'd be easy for a bunch of countries to turn round to Apple/Google and say "we don't want this app in our country", especially given the... breadth of Reddit's content. They're rolling out slowly to reduce the amount of firefighting they have to do.

How often do EU countries do that? African countries? South American countries (except maybe Brazil)? As somebody from an excluded country (in the EU) that has zero history of app censorship, this rings quite hollow to me. In fact it is almost insulting, given that you bundle some freedom-loving countries in one bag with Russia and China.
