The rest of your argument is self-perpetuating; people use Mastodon because they hear about it, and they don't want to move, so they just wait for it to change?
Yes, because moving is so inconvenient. And a full, nomadic-identity-style move from Mastodon to anywhere is technically impossible. But many won't do less than that.

So more and more people use Mastodon even though they hate it?
Yes, because 99% of all Fediverse newbies are railroaded to Mastodon without being told what else there is in the Fediverse because that'd just confuse them. People usually take three to six months to even only discover that there are alternatives to Mastodon in the Fediverse, at which point they've fully settled into Mastodon.

The newbies don't hate Mastodon for not being as powerful as e.g. Sharkey. They love it for not being 𝕏. And they've never even heard of Sharkey at that point, so they can't and won't compare Mastodon to Sharkey.
