Well if you do leave it unmoderated for long, other users can appeal to admins to get control instead, assuming they have a plan on doing something with it. Not unlike a domain name in a way, just without the paywall.

Historically the r/RedditRequest process only considered whether the moderator was completely inactive from Reddit. There could be a dead subreddit that hadn't been touched in years or a flourishing subreddit whose top mod was completely MIA, there was nothing you could do if the top mod was still active on Reddit — even if you could prove they were just squatting.
Not unlike domain squatting.
