Even from a demographic perspective: Their audience is perpetually young, which means new users are coming in , but the old mods never go out and they tend to clog the conversation with their biases and power trips (experienced that in countless subreddits). Does reddit even think about problems like these?
Because Reddit admins are hands off unless they decide to be hands on. They get involved in the dumbest of things and not involved in important things. And moderators also don’t want to give up power so there’s always the risk of them fucking things up in the subreddit before they are forced out (if they are forced out). So Reddit admins do not take that risk
Start a nice subreddit put all your time and energy into building a community then kicked out when you get old and watch it get handed over to someone else.

You're proposing a broken solution to the wrong problem.
What you should be asking is what can Reddit do to stop a handful of moderators from consolidating power?
And that's simple, don't let any account (or one person) be moderator of more than x subreddits. They won't though, they have millions and don't give a sh*t.

Actually i had in mind national, local and generic-name subreddits that are not really fungible because of reddit's horrible lack of decent search function. most of them grew because reddit was additing people there automatically.
