The thing that makes me sooooooooooo depressed is that I strongly suspect that none of these facts/considerations are likely to change the mind of a single person who's on Bluesky or thinking about joining it.

I'm at a loss to know what matters to people outside of user experience that would possibly lead them to take a longer term outlook.

If you've insights, they are officially solicited.

How can anyone fed up with #twitter join #bluesky without stopping to ask how submitting to the control of one deranged oligarch over another is an improvement.
