I do not share your optimism.
1. A person has learned to ignore advertising. Social networks have found the right 'dose'.
2. Large social networks have more predictable intentions and are under more control than private instances.
3 Business opportunities are very limited due to different instance policies. Difficult to scale.
To develop #fediverse, you need a franchise. Network, instances, guaranteeing basic security for the user.

@Paul100 to clarify, my post was not about how the fediverse will take over the world. It was only about why there suddenly is interest (by a comparatively small, but noticeable) set of people and organizations. How far it can go from here is a different conversation. I agree that most of the problems that need to be solved before this can become a mass market phenomenon so far are unaddressed.
