This employer behavior is a result of the business model of collecting a critical mass of the users and later cutting operation costs.

It's viable because Twitter/X controls the access to the audiences of their users - if you leave, you lose your network.

I'd like next gen social media platforms to allow transitions from one provider to another. While related, I think this is a different topic than centralized/federated.
