Well, your use of Surveillance Capitalism says something. If some folks don't like a new tool or feature, they label it as Surveillance Capitalism and shame the developers rather than engaging in any kind of constructive dialogue.
It's one thing to say that a community is welcoming to developers. It's another thing to say that we're welcoming to developers, but only if they restrict themselves to ideas and features approved by a small self appointed group of gate keepers.

Virtually anything on the internet can be categorized that way, if one chooses. It's a subjective criteria, which some people are very quick to make a judgement on, without necessarily even looking closely at the actual features or intend of the product.
Yes, some features are much more problematic than others.

I agree. I was not involved and do not know the people directly involved.
I also think it was misunderstood and an opportunity was missed.
I appreicated the developers attempt and his documentation of what went wrong and how it might be improved in future atttempts.
Sure, there is a lot developers can do in the Fediverse that would be welcomed.
But, I think that the #Searchtodon incident also sent an unfortunate message to developers.

Your original point is correct in that there is lots of place for creative development in the Fediverse and I appreciate folks like you who are doing it and doing it carefully and thoughtfully.
But, I also understand why some developers would be concerned about innovating in the Fediverse.

This is all true, but it's doing a misservice to the public to suggest that the risk is the same.
If you are using a small indepententlly hosted server on Mastodon the likelyhood of the sole admin burning out or disappearing due to life changes is vastly greater.
Yes, you can mitigate those risks by joining a larger server or managing your own. But, I think we need to be clear about the risks of the decentralized module as well as the rewards.
