First of all you are forgetting the channers because a lot of them do not have mainstream social media accounts.
>interaction ratio is always higher, and there's a higher chance someone who craves being seen will be seen
Second, the vast majority of people are attention whores obsessed with status but this is not the kind of people you can have quality interactions with. It is the human relationship equivalent of slop.

Fedi supports those that want the ability to see all posts by making their own instance.
As for having an identity layer on top of it, what problem would that solve? When an instance goes down, people who had handles there make new ones and can then be identified by their friends and embed themselves in the network once again.
Just like identity works irl, with national ID cards only being necessary when interacting with large corporations, the state, or when the state forces organizations to keep such lists.
