I think you're trying to be overly technical about a rule that can be seen different ways. The subreddits that went private are effectively blocking everyone from viewing them. They're not still moderating some smaller community. You can call that vandalism or a legitimate action depending on your perspective, but I don't think you can say it's definitely not against the rules from an objective perspective.
