The vibrant ecosystem of third party apps is what made Reddit, from what I’ve heard even the official app is a reskin of what used to be a third party apps. Pushing that ecosystem to Lemmy (I have 7 actively developing Lemmy apps installed on my phone) could spell eventual death for Reddit, and was a very unwise long term decision.
Don’t forget the current lockdown and eventual (this is an assumption) removal of NSFW content. Porn is not IPO friendly, but one should never underestimate the amount of regular traffic it can produce. When traffic metrics are collected, they rarely filter out NSFW. There’s already lemmynsfw.com, and I’m sure it won’t be the last.

What’s your favorite of the 7 so far?
I’m not the OP, but out of Jerboa, Connect, and LiftOff I like LiftOff the most so far. Jerboa would be higher up if it worked more.
Im on ios and liftoff is my favorite too. Thunder is 2nd.
I’m using the webpage and it is just as good as an app if not better since you have the full functionality.
Liftoff is awesome!
Same! It flows a lot like baconreader for me. I love that I can collapse comments by just a tap.
I just switched to liftoff from jerboa due to errors constantly coming up in jerboa and so far I too am really enjoying liftoff!
It’s getting there. For some reason autocorrect doesn’t work as well with this for me. No idea why
