They require login for all “sensitive” posts, so yes it is a systemic issue. For anyone annoyed by this, just use LibRedirect and enable forwarding of BlueSky to the 3rd party web client https://skyview.social/
You can bypass that by just replacing “www.reddit.com” with “old.reddit.com”, which shows exactly the same content using the old Reddit UI without login. It has no more restriction than just clicking an “I am over 18” button.

e.g.:

https://old.reddit.com/r/GoneWild
I can’t fathom how people have been using the redesign in the first place. Old.reddit was the only way.
