  1. Network effect. The people they care about are already in those places. Their family, grandma, a distant part of the family on the other side of the world, their favorite celebrities, people they went to college with, etc.

  2. They don't know about the fediverse.

  3. They don't care about privacy or things like an open web or corporate control. They "have nothing to hide" and think it's pointless to resist corporate enclosure of the internet plus the centralized platforms are free and store their photos for them and take only things they can't see.
