It'd be not-that-difficult, technology wise, to integrate with Reddit, with submissions instead going to changeaview.com instead of reddit.com's comment section.

But legally that's a huge can of worms. Reddit would shut them down instantly.

And not necessarily by suing, Reddit could save itself some trouble and simply delete the subreddit.

Reddit has never shut down any other company or group doing anything related to that, and honestly why would they?

Have others integrated Reddit submissions into third-party web sites?

I'd be surprised if Reddit liked that.

Reddit offers an extensive API to do just that: https://www.reddit.com/dev/api/

It makes tons of business sense to let things like that happen. It is in no way a legal can of worms or in fact any trouble at all.

Reddit doesn't really care what their subreddits are used for. If they did then they would just delete the numerous hate/death/gore/revengeporn/etc. subs that have persisted for years.

They did delete those subreddits.

Do you mean...

"with submissions [ALSO] going to changeaview.com [AND] reddit.com's comment section" ?

If the replies only went to changeaview.com the entire comment section would be blank when browsing via Reddit.
