See my other reply. Regular users don’t understand, nor care, nor even think about it. To the mainstream, of everything you’ve listed, only email is a common concept, and even then you have some major congregation with very few providers. It doesn’t matter that your bubble is used to it, because it represents a risible percentage of the mainstream.
I can guarantee you regular users don’t ever think of email as a federated service nor even begin to understand how it works behind the opaque client page.
They have the main thing masses often look for: unity (as in the state of being united, not the company). Like it or not, federation is a brand new concept that regular users can’t wrap their heads around.
And the one main issue with FOSS rears its ugly head – freedom of contribution also means freedom of bad contributions.
