I've seen sub-reddits with moderator lists hidden for the safety of the moderators, or because there are too many moderators to list. How are these public?

  Name some of those 'moderator list unknown' subs. I have never seen such a thing. Regardless, they are all accessible via API.

    It's been too long since I've frequented Reddit, but I do recall them. Reddit even has an official policy of hiding moderator lists of some sub-reddits: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049499032-Why-is-the-moderator-list-hidden- https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/36004949903... An API may be technically public, but not for the hoi polloi. I would expect Reddit would bar API access for moderator lists that it has officially hidden.

If you are going to claim something as true you can't just say 'but the data was too hard to access so I claimed it anyway'. I call bullshit on the parent's claim and no one has said anything to prove otherwise.
