Reddit forgets just how well this move went for Tumblr.

Different things. Tumblr actually banned NSFW, Reddit is reminding its mods that using tools provided by a platform to try and harm that platform is pointless. I have no idea what people thought would happen tbh. That Reddit would look at subs going "we're going to go NSFW mode entirely for the sake of denying Reddit ad revenue", not even bothering to change rules, and just say "yeah, fair cop"?

It's a work-to-rule. What people thought might happen is that reddit would decide it wasn't worth fighting over and back down.

With the information available the outset, and in the context of limited organization of those who wished to fight back, I don't think it was unreasonable.
