Why not have each user register their own "client"? Is it that complicated?

Because this way each client should be registered in Reddit backend.

Technically that could be done. Each user could create a client ID and then input that in the app and then the app could use it to make requests. But I doubt Reddit will be happy about that and will quickly send a cease and desist to the developer and ban those users.
