A very limited amount of people care or even know what FOSS is. Sync helps a lot of people access Lemmy, et al with a minimum of friction in general since it's something familiar to them or trusted. Building communities requires accessibility and ease of access overall.
Also, there's not much you can glean from this about society. A lot of this language just sounds like really weird gatekeeping.
Why is everyone so defensive about this? I was using Slide and Infinity on Reddit for years, I was familiar with them - and now I'm using something else. I adapted.
In fact I use a multitude of things, right now a I'm writing from the native PWA. Later I'll switch to Jerboa or Liftoff or maybe I'll be testing Infinity.
Yea people unwilling to adapt, try new things, unable to see the entire point of this network, and instead just running to the "familiar" without looking around and trying to understand what's actually happening - yes, it is a small peak to society, because we see the same behaviour in all aspects of life.
