Why would people be eager to have a place like them joining the fedi?

If BlueSky were federated it would mean you could move to another server and keep the followers you built there. All the Big Tech offerings keep you locked in, and at risk of losing the work you put in at their whim.

Yes, but I was comparing it to why is BlueSky welcome but Threads is not? Frankly I'd just as sooner keep all commercial entities out of the fedi, but there's no way to stop them from adding that functionality.

Not that there's anything stopping some instance of established fedi space from going rogue, sweeping up data and feeding ads either, but at least that's not their established model today.
