because mastodon because dismissed twitter users concerns and thoughts the first exodus and bluesky implemented them in a way that's closer to twitter.
The fediverse has many micro blogging implementations outside of mastodon if you don't like their featureset (and they federate with each other, unlike bluesky). The only features I couldn't find are those that contributed to making Twitter the dystopian toxic space that it is.
Using another ActivityPub-based interface is a LOT to ask for many users. They want a simple to pronounce name, they can stick in their browser's universal bar and be on a sign-up page in less than 3 clicks without making any more choices.

Well I am speaking about users who may be picky about mastodon's features. If someone is picky, I don't imagine they'd care much about just finding a platform with their preferred features, similar to how they didn't like mastodon and found bluesky instead.
