I have a theory that governments and corporations across the world are pushing hard for free APIs. If they cost anything, even very little, then it makes astroturfing too expensive.

I think OP was using that ironically as an example of how ridiculous the expectations of the free-API folks are.

Any issue with Reddit offering a API only to not maintain it, or uphold any sort of SLA uptime, or not worry about releasing breaking changes every week?

Having a public facing API is not trivial or cost free.
