What's stopping Reddit from making a copy of every Imgur-hosted image linked to on Reddit, hosting it themselves, and thus ensuring that nothing is broken for Reddit users? Or just buying Imgur, for that matter?

I think Reddit has bigger priorities, like attracting advertisers that aren't fly by night companies that can no longer afford to advertise on FB.
Context is already lost on posts past a few years given the proportion of deleted accounts and comments. I'm not sure if there's much to be gained from archiving the images themselves.
The fact that money isn’t growing on trees? (Not anymore at least)
