I think it's the general focus on driving engagement and feeding the algorithm.
Most people here are (or were) still engaged on other social networks. The engagement seeking mindset is just so widespread, that people bring it with them to the fediverse where it makes no sense.
At least that's my answer. Not saying it is the cause, but it sounds about right to me.
