I have no evidence for this, but my hunch is that an inconsequentially-small percentage of Reddit users go out of their way to use Reddit’s old UI.

Those users are disproportionately mods and active users though. Reddit can't easily do away with it.

They considered this around the 3rd party app fiasco and it was clear old Reddit has a few years left because mods allhate the new Reddit UI

Yes but what percent of active posters use it? It's going to be much higher and the site will die without new content.
