Why do you believe that about Mastodon?

Mastodon is too fragmented for the common people, and any chance of that being popular is getting usurped by Bluesky anyway.
Onboarding and discovery is much too difficult for the average user. Distributed is technologically cool, but will remain niche IMO.
Mastodon isn't distributed, like bittorrent; it's decentralized, like email.
