Reddit is sending strongly-worded messages to moderators of certain subreddits that are marked as NSFW (Not Safe For Work), telling them to remove the tag or face being removed.

If the theory were true, it would have nothing to do with caring about app developers, but protecting a revenue stream.

It is unlikely, but why else would they limit NSFW content from third parties? If they outright want to extinguish them why bother implementing any sort of API cost model - as you said, it's not like they care the app developers.
