Pretty sure that’s what happens nearly everywhere not specifically the UK.

So many users didn’t know the difference. And probably thought mods were paid to work. And didn’t bother to read any of the stickies or links subreddits posted explaining the whole situation.

I don’t trust reddit reporting that value accurately. Not saying it is a huge percentage, but they likely doing some things to minimize the numerator and maximize the denominator.

But yeah, definitely about control. They could have monetized users on third party apps with more reasonable API pricing. People would probably have barely noticed and that’d be new revenue for reddit that didn’t exist before.
