Dude is an absolute narcissist. The way he understands the world is in leader-follower hierarchies. He likes the position of power he's in and absolutely can't stand there are other people with power, especially if those people's power is a necessity for maintaining something rather than ruling something.

He can't understand third party app developers do it because they love reddit and want to make it easier and more fun to use. No, they must be doing it because they can't build another reddit and want to feel like they own something they can't. He can't understand moderators are mostly people who are trying to keep the communities they love alive against all sorts of situations which can drive members away. No, they must be doing it because they want to have power over people, and the more their community seems to like them, the more proof it is of how well the moderator manipulated them.
