This is one of the big advantages of using open platforms that operate over a common protocol. Commercial companies are engaged in a zero sum game fighting for users, so they want to create silos for their content. On the other hand, Fediverse is a positive sum game where all the platforms benefit from users being able to see content from other platforms.
