For most linux users I'd say less security is a necessary evil. Security hardening is a tradeoff and I'd guess most people dont want their systems to be as locked down as ios or android. Or even modern removed, there are quite a lot of modifications that will require you to turn of System Integrity Protection, which blocks modifications of system files in normal use.
Profit motives may have been a driver for reddits decisions, but we don't need to pretend that foss doesn't have its own share of unpopular or controversial decisions.

Browser based blocking seems very out of touch and anything short of GFW as in China won't be very effective at actually achieving any blocking. Also enforcement client side will be impossible to control.

not to say all the places that I've been to reliability of stuff like Internet, and so on has been very has been very bad in most places you would like to be.  Given you're expected to perform your normal work. This might be quite stressful.
Still astounding that after so many years Wayland is still inferior in a lot regards to X11. And by design will probably never be able to better in these regards
