Because it's delusional wishful thinking.
This isn't a content site. It's an aggregator site. Most of the posts are either links from around the web or reposts.
Actual genuine original content isn't going to disappear from Reddit either. The people who do create it would never give up the platform. It's too easy and has a great reach.
Honestly next time you hear someone say they're leaving Reddit, go look through their link submissions. You're not going to find any of the power-users who make up 95% of the front page submissinos amongst them.

This is true for any *social* site. How long did it take Myspace to fall? Digg? So many examples. Users' loyalty is very very fickle in the offline world. Online? It is even worse

Relying on people's apathy for support isn't exactly a recipe for success.

That's probably because it's retarded.
Moderators don't create content.
Content creators go where content consumers are.
Any mod that leaves, any subreddit that is deleted (like r/crappydesign) is usually immediately filled by someone else willing to do the job, or another sub (r/crappydesign2) takes its place.
Reddit, as a system, is fine.
