There is more to it than the amount Reddit demands now. One huge issue is that it's a very sudden move.

30 days is not enough time to change apps business models (with existing paying customers in the mix). Additionally it seems reddit made promises in the beginning of this year that they wont monetize API access.

Reddit does not want to find common ground with 3rd party apps and make money with them, it wants them out of the market ASAP.

The issue even extends to non-mobile users that are afraid now that old reddit will be chopped for better monetization etc.
