This is true, but only for now.
The point of decentralized social platforms is to eventually include everyone. This is not to say this is Lemmy’s goal, but it is certainly the goal of its users. The tech-illiterate will show up en-masse (they always do) and what will be our answer for it? From what I see, we have none - this is no different than living on borrowed time.
We have to remember that “enshittification”, before all else, is a cultural issue. When the people that have this culture arrive, the whole platform will suffer for it (hence what I said earlier). Humans are just better with dealing with this in real-life, but the internet poses a lot more challenges that I just do not think we are ready for.

1: we’ve been waiting for the masses to arrive for about 2 years now, there was a peak, then a significant fall off 2: there is a solution, and we talk about it all the time: simplify onboarding
I think you may just not be hanging around in the instance development and community servers if you’re not seeing these conversations
