Have you looked at the actual HTML source code of a typical reddit page in "new" design? Like, almost a full megabyte of CSS spam on each page, not even counting any external resources from other files like JS?
Do you really expect my entry-level smartphone to download, decompress and then parse and execute and render all that stuff within a reasonable time? i.reddit.com[1] was the only sane way to access reddit through web on my phone. It's bad enough on my desktop computer.
(Old reddit is fast enough on my phone, but its usability on small touch screens is poor, with small links etc.)
