I don't think most users will quit cold turkey. However breaking muscle memory is a really quick way of breaking addictions. If people can no longer use their favorite apps to check Reddit then it'll force them to make a conscious choice to download the official app and relearn their bad habits (assuming they consider using Reddit a bad habit).

If a significant portion of users (especially power users who are more likely to contribute to discussion and posting content) leave the platform then it could cause a lot of issues for the future of Reddit.
