Now that I think about it, I agree with you. I think in the above post I had in mind that subreddits would allow more "cohesiveness" or a greater "sense of community" among its participants. But perhaps that is nonsense or not so important.

However, which "very strong reasons" did you have in mind? I can think of only two:

1) If there were multiple subreddits, often a post might not fit squarely in a single one.

2) People might tag their posts in subreddits anyways, in which case why have subreddits?

I consider your (1) a pretty strong reason.

I have a draft of a post that gives a couple more reasons. Will you review it before I publish it?

Certainly. Also, I amended my original post to make it clear that I now support tags over subreddits.
