Whether a platform is federated or not is an abstract and irrelevant question to most users. It's like telling a typical end user that their hardware architecture is big-endian or little-endian. In terms of their usage, it makes no difference.

federated platforms are a major failure, as picking instances and creating accounts is a hassle rather than a convenience

Some UI improvements and simple affordances could make a bit difference to those barriers.
