Is there a lot of drama between mobile OS developers? I'm not really in those circles, I had no idea.

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
I do remember a Moderator from the subreddit saying exactly that. Apparently "a certain" ROM's community was very vocal about their preference and provoked heated debates to a point where it was too much effort to moderate manually.
It wouldn't have been that much work to moderate before the API bullshit ripped community-built moderation tools away.
This was by design. Make moderating more difficult. Claim moderators are failing. Replace with AI that Reddit can control. Replace mods who leave from frustration with hand-selected mods who follow the company line.
To be honest, the explanation given in the screenshot makes sense. Whilst it's frustrating, if the mods have had past problems with arguments over OSes (and there are dedicated subs for them), I can somewhat understand the reason for the rule.
Dafuq?
