Reddit encouraged third party clients for a long time, and made no effort to monetize them. The piracy analogy is completely inappropriate.
Reddit could still encourage third party clients and also monetize them in a reasonable way, but they have chosen to be unreasonable and will almost certainly kill the market for those apps.
