I've never understood how or why this is an issue.

Shortly after Spez's petulant AMA, I ran across a link for Lemmy. org. It looked interesting, so I followed it. I poked around a bit, and it still looked interesting, so I picked an instance and created an account. I played with it a bit, then I went back and found a different instance that looked interesting and created an account there too. And I just kept reading and posting, just like I'd done on Reddit (and half a dozen different sites before that). Some instances came and went and I lost some accounts and created others and eventually settled into a few that I like best, and just read and posted and didn't leave. The end.

But it seems that every time I turn around, someone's going on about the hardships of moving to a different site and all the difficulties to be overcome and yadda yadda yadda, and I just don't get it. At all.

Extremely well written!

Most people simply don't care or if they do they don't need others to care. And then there are the people that want to change something and expect others to do the same, then being surprised they have their own opinions. The next step is of course to rant about it to other random people on the internet just so they can get a confirmation that they are not the problem ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
