One problem with network effect discussions is that we tend to assume that the people interested in a technology -- like distributed social networks -- would all be interested no matter what the platform or protocol is.

That's a naive assumption. If ATProto didn't exist, maybe some percentage of the current ATProto dev community would be building on ActivityPub, but probably not 100%.
