I think, cynically, this will drive most users from apps to Reddit's own site/app where they can serve ads and do invasive tracking. So, long-term, Reddit gets what it wants.
I doubt enough people care enough to stay off Reddit because Apollo is shut down. (I aways think about how the "nudie scanner" revolts fizzled to a whimper in the end--and how people now just put up with doing the perp stance and being mm wave scanned.)
One way out would be for Reddit to enforce certain restrictions on 3rd party app, similar to Apple's App Store. "You must show ads", for example.
