What made everybody move from a corporate social media platform to another corporate social media platform instead of the fediverse?

After all, the Fediverse and Activitypub is much more mature than Bluesky and the copycat AT protocol or Threads and ... whatever they use.

not having to pick the instance when registering
people who have experienced Mastodon's hermetic culture discouraging others from joining
algorithms helping discover people and content to follow

There are some advantages to algorithms for discovery - it's certainly is more user friendly. It's just a shame they tend to enshitify or become toxic. Bluesky seem to offer an API of sorts to plug in feeds you create. Perhaps open algorithms are more accountable?
