imagine if, instead of implementing nostr, social-media platforms just started letting their users gen a priv key, sign their posts and keep their data (would be a great outcome still) nostr:note13p4mcywjeartmmpun7dzry5x2gmltecsflt46ze52arvtd3m6yystzn6m8

They don't want that.
why do you think that is?
Compliance and control.
When you give partial or full rights to a company managing your data, they're both want to be in control of it, and they have laws to regulate what they can do.
Nostr has no middlemen. The foundation of nostr is separations of power, so there's not those inventives.
... and I hate them because I am in my right to hate, right?
(with the idea that they could move or have that data/DID on other platforms)
There's been no updates to the activitypub standard for 5 years so I wouldn't hold my breath.
this is like expecting governments to approve other forms of untaxed legal tender
