Compared to established, age-old platform? Yes, we're less developed. But do you know what's even worse? Corporate greed! Rest assured, we'll improve and mature over time.

Do we really want the people who can't figure out how to sign up? I know some of the explanations of federation are bad, but it doesn't take more than three minutes of reading to get a grasp on what it is.

yes, actually. we want all flavours of people, including those who aren't technically minded. artists, musicians, etc. plus; if it's hard to join, you might put off those who, once they understand the site, actually end up contributing to its development. nobody is going to put in pull requests for a service they don't use, and if there are objectively worse but easier to start using alternatives out there, they'll use them instead

technological knowledge is no indicator of moral standing, you know

I'd argue signing up for a website isn't technically challenging in 2023. And I wasn't implying it had anything to do with morals. Someone turned off by the thought of having to learn to use a platform isn't likely to bring anything valuable to the table.
