I think with any alternative to big tech the problem is most people are really unwilling to change their habits and make short term compromises.
A lot of people know on a surface level that big tech is stealing their data etc.
But actually changing their habits goes to far.
Another issue is that its more or less a systemic issue.
To many people aren’t even awear of what FOSS even is.
The state of Foss and is a bit complicated where you do have organizations and activists advocating for it but also gigantic corporations that use Foss technology and exploit the free labor that goes into it.
There definitely needs to be more activism for FOSS technology and alternatives to big tech.
And those alternatives should be open to everyone like Linux is.
Of course there are always multiple reasons why something isn’t used but I do think it is important to look at a bigger perspective than individual consumer/ in this case users
