1. I agree with this point, but also, why make anything then? why make new tools and new technology if it's not going to have the same amount of users right away? I dislike this line of thinking.
2. I really do not want people to keep trying to monetize social networking, social networking is something that should not be privatized as it is quite literally one of the pillars of modern society and the modern internet. I couldn't care less about for-profit investors looking to monetize. Plus, you're factually wrong, Jack Dorsey actually launched the project as a way to extend Twitter, and ended up abandoning it because he seemingly did "Not believe in it." Most (if not all) of Bluesky/ATProto was made from the ground up without his help at all.
2. The Zot protocol looks absolutely awesome, I want to read more about it! Is it like Scuttlebug or something?
Now that I think about it, the main issue with ActivityPub and Zot is that both of those protocols failed to be sold to the people, more than to investors. Bluesky is easy to sell as simply "A better Twitter that is open source and independent", meanwhile the Fediverse kept its complicated terminology and to this day, no regular person can really decypher what the word "Fediverse" means without having actually read the theory on how the protocol works, a fatal flaw in my opinion.
