Can someone give me a couple reasons why it does not make sense to buy Apollo out, and make it the default iOS app?

It is currently maintained by one excellent developer, is featured by the Apple App Store for design... what's the downside?

It is insane how absolutely shit the Reddit app is and how great Apollo is. It's bizarre as hell that reddit doesn't just offer to acquihire him for like $10M cash and $1M/yr salary and be done with it.

They bought Alien Blue and its dev, then fired him and shut down the app.

I think the key problem with all the theorycrafting in this thread about how Reddit could approach this in a better way is that these better strategies are fundamentally incompatible with whatever is broken in Reddit's management.
