I don't get why, I can't see this be difficult or costly to run, but then again I have no clue, never ran a Mastodon instance.

I would assume that it's not worth the small reach compared to running X / Bluesky / Threads accounts but then again, like I said, the cost must be super small. 🤷

I'm not sure why they created one to begin with

Running the server probably costs about $100 per year, plus one person's $180,000 salary
