Software developer (not visually impaired): Given that the Reddit app uses a custom UI toolkit, it's less likely that they intentionally broke it, rather that they just saw it as not needed for a tech demo, then not needed for a MVP, then not a priority at GA, then not a priority at any development milestone. Apps like Apollo have it easier using the standard iOS components.
Not to make excuses for Reddit, with the resources Reddit has they definitely should have prioritised it way earlier. It's not tangible to shareholders, execs or the developers who don't need accommodation therefore it's not important, so therefore, stakeholders don't allocate resources. ✨capitalism✨
There's nothing here!
