These subreddits are huge though, and are defaults.

Any default subreddit is going to have a lot more attention drawn to it and will have a lot more interaction between reddit the company and the individual moderators. It's not that reddit runs the subreddit, but I think it's inaccurate to say that they are "unaffiliated."
