Additionally, that's why I like the fact that the fediverse is sort of technically complex and not particularly user-friendly, and if I had my way about it, it would stay that way.

Bluntly, technical complexity serves as a barrier-to-entry for lazy and stupid people, and that's a good thing.

I'm old enough to remember when the internet as a whole was like that - when you had to have some technical knowledge and determination just to get online at all. And I remember how much and how quickly things went downhill when that was no longer the case.
