Doesn't this prove the value to users of a centralized platform over a federated platform?
The centralized platform made it very easy to find people. Now people who are moving to a federated platform miss the value of centralization, so they are writing a tool that will leverage that value and import it into the federated platform.
Maybe if Mastodon was a centralized Twitter-style platform it would be more usable, and more popular.
