I've got a pet theory that old.reddit is actually codified in legal language somewhere as "must always exist."

Otherwise, I can't believe Reddit is actually keeping it around out of the goodness in their cold, dead corporate heart.

Let's try this one: Reddit is selling "we'll let your AI training scrape our data" and have lazily implemented it by just pointing at old.reddit.com.

Possibly, but doesn't old.reddit predate the LLM craze?

Oh I'm not saying it was created for that. I'm saying that could be why it's still alive.
