They could have but this would have still represented giving up a lot of control over how ads are shown.

Not necessarily. They could have added an extra requirement for accessing the api that Reddit must approve how ads are displayed.

Right, but if they control the app they can make changes on the fly whenever. If they have 10 partner apps then everything will be glacially slow.

Its not like the way ads are presented changes a lot. But I acknowledge the point.

I think I wouldn't mind so much if their official app was anywhere near as good as Apollo.

I don't ack their point. They'd get one warning and then they'd be kicked out and it would be justified.
