They promise this each and every time there is a conflict between Reddit and the userbase.
For as long as the platform has existed.
Them neglecting to actually implement anything is the very reason so many external applications came to be.
And the very few times they actually did start releasing some accessibility or moderation tools, as soon as any conflict died down, they stopped developing those features and left them in a half finished state or removed them down the line.
Or they do ridiculous shit like trying to market their "new" reddit user interface and app as being accessible and having tools, while in reality, even fully able users can't work with that pile of shit.
