Most of the terrible stuff Reddit did only affected a tech-literate minority, at least knowingly. Most users didn't use 3rd party apps so they didn't even understand what the uproar was about, and we should know perfectly well people don't care about their privacy.
In contrast, this change is likely to affect day-to-day habits of at least some people.
