If everyone was spread out onto different instances, and communities were based all over the fediverse, the decisions of one instance would be less impactful.

Let's put things in perspective. Lemmy.world currently has a "whopping" 127k users. That's fewer users than the moderately successful niche subreddit I created on Reddit has, which is just one of several thousand subreddits over 127k in size. Not to mention the tens of thousands of Instagram, youtube, facebook, tiktok, etc., pages with more than 127k subscribers. Saying lemmy.world has "a lot of power" at this point seems like a real stretch to me.
That’s all well and good, but a user can be subscribed to many subs
You can be on multiple instances?
It’s much more normal for a person to have many more subs attached to a single account than it is to have many accounts
E.g. you might have say 3 accounts, but one of those accounts might have 100 subs, relatively speaking the numbers aren’t comparable
