If userbases vote for mods you will get an absolute cesspit. It has not worked in the past when subreddits have done it willingly, and it will not work in the future.

I think this is a bluff tbh. He has seen it fail in the past every single time it has been willingly implemented by a subreddit. It doesn't work. The userbases do not participate enough to know whether certain people running to be mod are good or not.

It would also completely remove "ownership" of a subreddit from moderators, meaning that there is essentially no incentive to do it, no feeling of reward for your hard work because your community is yours. They will kill all motivation for moderators.
