I would imagine that they would consider purchasing an existing client if they hadn't already gone out and developed their own.
To be pedantic, they didn't develop their own. They bought an existing client and then Frankensteined it.

They never ever made their own. The reddit app was made by a 3rd party dev and they bought it from them and stripped a bunch of the useful features
