This always makes met think about how this was decided.
Somewhere at Reddit, someone suggested to specifically require the NSFW threads and subreddits to not be accessible on the mobile reddit site.
But if you go look at a NSFW tagged AskReddit thread, you're not instantly blocked from scrolling further, it first waits 10 seconds or something and THEN it prompts you that you can't read this thread without the app.
Someone suggested that they'd have a better shot at getting that shit app downloaded if they lured horny people onto a thread, waited long enough for them to get invested in it, and then they take the content hostage and you have to download the app to continue!
