They're already on Insta, so they're really not giving up anything extra

I think you're going to begin to see a lot of that on Reddit. I overwrote and delete my ~10 years of comments and posts before deleting my account. I imagine a significant number of others have/will too.
I'm not sure if you're old enough to remember Digg, but they also alienated their users which caused users to migrate to Reddit.
I deleted my Reddit account right after I noticed Apollo stopped working. Mastodon and Kbin are filling the void nicely and I find I don't miss Reddit at all.
There's definitely room for improvement, but I like what I see so far and don't have a problem learning a new paradigm. I'm sure that as the platform matures things will become more consistent.
It also works on all sites, which is why FF is no longer my daily driver.
