I feel like you ignored their chief issue, which is that if your original server (IE. lemmy.world) goes down then nothing works for you. In that situation you have to switch to a new server to be able to view anything, and likely need to create a new account on that server. There's some other catches to this as well that makes it more problematic than just that.
They were definitely told the "it doesn't matter what server you choose" line when they looked at lemmy, but in reality that's not entirely true if a server isn't that stable.
Make a new account on a server with the same name and password, works for me. I use sh.itjust.works but have a lemmy.world acc with the same login creds.
I agree though, there are flaws to the system, but I'd say the benefits outweigh them
They're blaming all of Lemmy for 1 particular server's issues. Maybe a stability tracker of some sort to go with the 'total users' metric in the instance list would solve that?
