I like how you intentionally cropped out the first half of the question, which already addressed your point.
The question was specifically if there was ***any other reason***.
It’s not really a good analogy though. Updates to new Reddit still affect old Reddit. It’s more akin to releasing a “pro” version of an existing console, rolling out a new update that invades privacy ***to all users***, and then only letting the pro users disable it.

The first part isn't entirely true though, if they wanted to actually run people off the old design, they would just turn off the domain.

Again, not really. Because you can still go to the new design *just to disable the features* then go right back to the old.
Shit, I don't even use either of those. Never have. I've only ever used a 3rd party app that is far superior to both, and even I logged in to turn off followers.
I have no doubt that others can figure this out as well, without the need to keep developing for a dying site.
