The benefit is that all of the information that a user generates while using a social platform application is entirely independent of the platform, and can be read and modified by any application that is designed to interact with it (in the same way that any text editor can read and edit a .txt file).
The point is to stop thinking about e.g. a BlueSky profile as specifically a BlueSky profile, and start thinking of it as my profile, which I share on BlueSky (and anywhere else that I choose). Everything should be portable, in the same way that a .PDF or .jpg is portable.
