Who asked for this?
Your reasoning of "moderators made some mistakes" and "some NSFW got on SFW subs" isnt really grounds to employ sweeping changes that change the default for everyone.
But this is Reddit and lord knows you all haven't got enough money from investors.

I would assume there is some modesty involved with the wording.
Also, it sounds like you don't understand the real world legal consequences of letting this kind of thing go unchecked. Think about how big Reddit is. Now think about how many lawsuits are likely filed against them by certain groups of people, either directly affected by nsfw on the platform or otherwise.

Or it's an expansion of the NSFW policy thanks to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
It helps if you take a look at the laws Reddit is required to operate under before assuming the worst.

What's to say Reddit didn't ask for this? Their own teams from product owners down the developers/QA/testers/daily admin workers can submit their own ideas of how to progress the platform, automation is a large part of everything and I know myself I would automate this if possible to remove a manual overhead, that manual effort can then be redeployed elsewhere it's required.
Why do something manually when it makes sense that it can be automated.
