They push you into the app for multiple reasons, just like Instagram does . It’s much easier for analytics to be tracked on the app for ex. , it generates more revenue through ads, and it’s more likely for you to engage with the app more if you have the app.
More time spent =more ad revenue.
This is why the OP is not responding to the content despite the upvotes; they definitely don’t plan on removing it because it works.
Also, a lot of Reddit traffic occurs on the mobile app, so that’s become a priority for them

The issue is that I use an app for general Reddit browsing (Apollo FTW).
I often use google to search for answers to questions or specific topics (product reviews/experiences for example) because it’s still the best way to search and find relevant results. And unfortunately, Reddit won’t let me open up that result in the Apollo app

Lol what ? No. They won't remove it cause they DON'T WANT TO. Not the same thing.
Also, your formulation really reads like an apologist argument for their user-harassing practice.
This is all just a simple "**suck more money at the expense of our users"** and nothing else.
Stop giving them justification.
