A few more potential reasons:
- PDS's are expected to prohibit illegal content. So if your content's illegal in one jurisdiction you'll want to switch to a PDS in another jurisdiction -- or one that doesn't enforce the rules.
- Relays can block PDSs, for example because that are sources of illegal content or spam. So if you're on a PDS that's blockd by the official Bluesky Relay, there's incentive to move elsewhere.
- PDS's could also take down content that's not illegal. Sure they say that PDSs infrastructure so moderation shouldn't be opinionated, but in practice some PDS operators may not want to host hate speech, disinformation, or other harmful-but-not-illegal content.
- They mention in the white paper that they expect PDS's to be operated by experienced hosting companies. How many hosting companies keep their initially-free services free long term? So that may well be another reason to move.
