Yeah, it was a mostly rhetorical question. Reddit's tools for mods still suck, too, and they haven't bothered fixing it before killing all the tools that really helped mods out.
Expect even fairly moderated subs to reject most/all appeals when they can no longer review the content a user was banned for.
E: also reddit's search sucks as well. 99% of what I used pushshift for was finding my own past content or other things on reddit I had seen before. Reddit doesn't have a functional search to take its place.

Yeah, I was digging through my own history just today looking for a source I'd mentioned earlier but could no longer find because the google algorithm is complete trash these days.
It's also been an invaluable tool for verifying bot accounts. But admins don't give a damn about that.
