Yes, many people don't understand the point of Mastodon.

This includes many of the hundreds of users who tried to make Mastodon work as an X alternative but failed because it was too hard to use.

Decentralisation, Federation, self hosting and choosing an instance isn't enough of a point for many people to use it.
