Heck: phones. Phones are federated. I pay for my phone service through one company, and you pay for your phone service through another, but I can still call you as long as I dial the right number.

The issue isn't really that federation makes things hard. The issue is that it's not how people are used to social media, and very specifically social media, working. And people are strange creatures of habit who hate change.
