Why can you maintain old Reddit but not new.reddit.com?

because old Reddit is mainly used by the moderators of Reddit. If they ditch old Reddit, a lot of mods will stop moderating. It's in the Admins best interest, to continue supporting old Reddit.

Because they know killing old Reddit will give them a lot of backlash they don't want to face... yet anyway. Older users swear by old Reddit so yeah.

They can, this OP is heavily **dishonest** and it's kinda pathetic honestly.

Not as many people use new.reddit.com[1] compared to the old one, so they'll face less backlash. For those of us that used new though, this is absolutely horrible. I might stop using desktop reddit all together

They can't. Old reddit is increasingly losing functionality as new features have to use newer interfaces. It used to be you could load the page in new.reddit.com to access them, but now they're completely cut off.
Polls are, as far as I can tell, completely inaccessible now as long as you have old reddit enabled.
