I would question the monetization value of a user visiting reddit to read a 4 year old post about the best water pump, vs. "normie" users just flipping through their front page
These investors are trying to make back 1.3 BILLION dollars sunk into a social network in the top 10 websites visited in the US that can't make money, they're rightfully trying to go full facebook/instagram/normie. What if I told you old.reddit only accounts for 10% or less of web users. That people are actually able to browse new reddit (I personally can't).
tl;dr: For the content they're looking for, no they dont need someone like you who's deleting old posts they don't care about
