  What's to stop Reddit employees just ... reopening all these subreddits tomorrow?

    Nothing, but they would have to also moderate them because it would turn into an absolute hellsite in about five minutes.

    What's to stop Ford from not paying their workers? Reddit mods already work for free and are mostly in it for the minute power they get. Admins overriding that would cause an exodus and then the quality of the subs would tank overnight.

    As others have said, nothing, which is why it is important to those seeking to maintain some sort of online community to both stand up alternatives and backup as much of Reddit as possible for future reference and possible backfill capabilities. Digg didn't go away, its audience left, for example. The value is in the ongoing community activity and participation.

    Reddit already has a process for anyone to claim subs who's admins are inactive. Usually they have to be inactive for several months, but I wouldn't be surprised if they made an exception in the near future.
