Why? Those are accounts, not views.
Partly cause people expect an exact Twitter which mastodon doesn't really aim to be. Some people will enjoy the organic growth of connections others won't. Plus lack of feature parity with twitter and the complications of a federated timeline and a local timeline. People in general dont have the patience to try and learn something new.
Exactly, people fleeing twitter will find something that is definitely not twitter and they will bounce.
I say that as someone who likes what mastodon is and don't want it to become twitter.
