Why are big platforms shutting down third-party Apps? Should an average user be worried? (lemmy.one)

With the recent Reddit stuff and YouTube stuff, I realized I've been using numerous third party apps or services. The question I have is why the decision and how such decisions would really benefit the company. As an random user, should I be worried about it or even go back to the official Apps just in case the third-party apps would be shut down in the future?

The nigh-certainty of "old reddit" being on the chopping block pushed me here. There's no way they won't axe it.
