That's like broadcasting a private get together with your friends on YouTube. Sure, you can do that, but there are consequences of doing so.
People do all kinds of stuff with Mastodon even though other Fediverse software is better for that. From podcasts that are MP3 files attached to Mastodon toots to groups grafted onto Mastodon. Even though there's not only Funkwhale, but even a dedicated podcast project named Castopod. And even though group discussions require conversations, and hardly anything in the Fediverse has such a lack of conversation support as Mastodon.
They don't do that because they think Mastodon is the best at it. They do it because Mastodon is all they know. They've spent their first months in the Fediverse thinking the Fediverse is only Mastodon because nobody told them about there being anything else. Either that, or the step from Twitter to Mastodon was so big that they're still recovering from it, and they don't want to learn something new again, so they use what they already know.
And if you tell them there's something better for the job, they refuse to adopt it because they "can't" move away from Mastodon for some reason.
