Some open source projects are very much about the users. Inkscape, Krita, kdenlive, many others.
Mastodon, I think, is a bit of a social experiment based in part on false beliefs (quote posts..., CWs)
It's not meant to be a platform from which you can do business, or some activism types.
Not yet.
It will happen, it will be slow, but open source projects are forever.
