That's one reason why Bluesky has gained a lot of traction. All of this is under the surface, not something you need to care about unless you want to.

I would contend not all of it is under the surface

The Bsky team regularly highlights other apps, custom feeds, and moderation choice

The important part is that you don't need to know about any of this to use the service. Of course, the protocol enables user-level features.

You don't need to know how any of those features or websites work to use them. I'd also argue that most users have no idea who the people working on the site are. (even if reading the replies under their personal posts gives a different impression)

The end user just sees they can subscribe to a moderation list that hides any post labelled as "Beans", or that they can have a feed next to their Discover feed that's an endless stream of people getting ligma'd.

Or that they can use their account to log into a seemingly unrelated site.
