Ease of access and user experience. A single platform beats that, as you don’t have to choose where to signup and everything will be available without effort.
However, Lemmy is getting better with that and hopefully the user base continues growing. It doesn’t need to have a billion users to be an awesome experience.

Facebook is for people you know IRL
Twitter* is for short sentences you spit out
Lemmy… well it’s a collection of lots of different instances and then you’ve got communities on each one and some are duplicated but you can join them anyway etc etc
