Sure, and that's why I haven't built a commercial product on top of Reddit.

(I actually did run a startup on top of Twitter's API between 2010-2013 - I'm VERY glad not to have to worry about that any more!)

I'm not talking about this in terms of being an app developer: I'm talking about it in terms of being a regular user posting content on the site.

If you rug-pull my expectations on access to that data in the future, don't be surprised if I find somewhere else to spend my time.

Sorry, with all of the recent Reddit 3rd party apps threads, I've crossed the streams with your case of just submitting content rather than being a 3rd party app
