There is something called the status quo bias in behavioural science. which we need to overcome. I can come up with a more concrete research on why and what we can do (might take time)

There is also anchoring bias and other factors at play here as well.

Those of us who know this cant think of having the internet any other way.

I would say that it is similar to how the transition from TV to the Internet was, at first many still did not dare to try it because TV was still giving something that made one not let go and only people began to try other options once. that TV stopped giving them what kept them hooked.

the same will probably happen with centralized pages, there will come a point where people will no longer feel comfortable in those places and there it is likely that many will already want to try 'nostr' or other alternatives, only that time has not yet come.

I'm surprised we don't see more brits

that's not why? youtube, Twitter and several pages are still giving something that makes them still not want to leave.

Social validation is key. There is fomo at play. Our primal brain thinks fight flight. Fight means going against the trend. Flight means go with the trend.

Very true.
