A few of the bigger instances have been very open about the fact that they're anti-piracy, anti-porn, etc and removing this community is par for the course with such a stance.

What does that mean for the average user? It means there's more incentive to move to better instances. It's when instances have such a monopoly on users and communities that people should not only move, but advocate for other people moving to smaller instances.

Also a major benefit of not being federated by large instances is that there's less surface area for search engines and thus resources last longer.

Imo the issue here is that how Lemmy works right now, or maybe just its apps, seems to have the trend of pushing most people onto the largest instance(s) like .world

If the point of the Fediverse is to have a decentralized userbase, that trend needs to be reversed.

Even if we give .world admins the benefit of the doubt and say they got in legal trouble or something this time, having a userbase properly spread across many instances would prevent that instance from being the obvious target.

You're not wrong. But people are lazy. They want to go where everyone is and have FOMO they'll miss something good by not being on the biggest instance.

imo when the devs get tired of .ml being the second cousin and not the biggest or most well-liked instance, they'll change their website to not surface by size and popularity so much.
