"The likelihood of a server just randomly disappearing is incredibly low."

No. Just no.

If (IF!) some distributed social network breaks through and hundreds of millions or billions of people are participating, they are going to do things that The Powers That Be don't like. For better or worse, when that happens they will target servers, and servers WILL just disappear. Domains will disappear. Hosting providers will disappear. You can take that straight to the bank and cash it.

Uncoordinated moves are table stakes for a real distributed social network at scale. The fact AT Protocol provides this affordance on day one is a great credit.
