Actually, I'll disagree with you on that one. Bluesky and the AT protocol are doing some really interesting things in terms of decentralization. They come at things differently from Activity Pub/Fediverse, but it's another approach.
I found this post helpful: https://overreacted.io/open-social/
And to Adam's point, part of the idea is all your posts and data could come with you.
I'm happy here in the Fediverse... but I'm also watching the Atmosphere!
