That's true, but money and resources also matter, and Mastodon has had little to none for the majority of these years, so not sure it's a very fair / equal comparison considering the amount of vast $$$ Bluesky has had to its disposal (without even having made much progress towards decentralization.)

Most of those points of valid. But there is something to be said about Mastodon being 8 years old and nowhere near what's needed to go mainstream. Vision and implementation matter.
