Because not everybody thinks the same as you?
People are entitled to their own opinions, just because you think something is wrong doesnt make it objectively wrong.
Yes, you want a space only for those who think the same as Elon Musk, with his thumb being pressed down on the algorithm which you have no choice but to use.
On Bluesky/ATProto, I am free to chose my own algorithm or my own client software and affiliate with the people I want to. My data is always my own because I can host it on my own PDS. On Mastodon, I have similar freedoms, and you can opt into bridging ATProto with ActivityPub through Bridgy Fed. I like the freedom of the open web, but I guess not everybody thinks the same as me.
Inertia, friend groups, and also a lot of countries other than the US that have no idea about US politics or don't care enough about it.
