I see it as a solvable problem. I don’t think there’s enough obvious benefit to motivate a developer to expend the effort, however.

I’m not quite sure about that. I’m missing something, because you should be right, but the effort is already expended, yet still many reddit apps have shut down rather than switching to a subscription model. There was no technical change to the API. For example sync for Reddit and sync for Lemmy could be the same app and you just pay if you want to use the Reddit part, but that’s not the way the devs decided. They preferred writing off their investment into the Reddit API.

I find this confusing.
