More people will over time but I don’t think the average person ever will. Most people I’ve tried to explain the concept of open source software and initiatives like the Fediverse to either won’t shake from their belief that they must be a lame imitation of proprietary offerings or in a lot of cases outright don’t trust them for not being direct for-profit endeavours. The only interactions these people have had with the digital world have been as part of the modern data scraping hellscape that was once termed “Web 2.0” and became the norm as the internet went mainstream in the '00s. They weren’t part of the internet when it was a niche interest and more open so they know no better. Whilst they might agree that it’d be a better world if software and services didn’t track or manipulate you when you ask them that question directly, they can’t truly conceive of tech that doesn’t. Better the devil that you understand the motives of than one that you don’t who must have some sort of Machiavellian scheme going on behind the curtain, because everyone does deep down, right? I’m not an expert in psychology but I don’t think it’s overly dramatic to say it puts me in mind of those poor individuals who were abused as children and never received therapy so go on to seek out other abusers in adulthood.
