Honestly, I feel like Kbin is missing RES type of extension. Meanwhile, I found some good scripts on GreasyFork for Tampermonkey that scratch some missing features while browsing kbin.
I think that that’s the vast bulk of the reason, but I could believe that there are things that maybe someone wants implemented that Ernest disagrees with and so they provide it as a client-side hack.
But, yeah, probably would be preferable to just patch it in the Web UI. Or in some of the upcoming clients.

The only reason for RES is that Reddit is closed-source.
