Unfortunately this is not how the fediverse should work either. It’s not supposed to be “all in one” like everyone expects now. The reason google does so well is they infiltrate everything so Normie Joe only remembers their gmail login and can login to everything. This is dangerous, and we know why, but the convenience outweighs everything to Joe.
I mean, sure, but it is people’s natural tendency. As long as there are systems in place for people to migrate services it’s not such a big deal. If someone asks me what social media I use, I say Piefed. If they asked me for a link, I’d link them my instance. But if someone were coming in totally cold and just needed to pick one, I wouldn’t fault them for defaulting to The Big One. I’d certainly prefer they do that over staying on Facebook or whatever.
And that’s more of a federation problem anyway, in the case of operating systems it’s not as big a problem for all the noobs to be using the same one.
