I don't really think people made that choice consciously because they thought walled gardens were better, there was a major push to redirect people and content creators to those platforms. I was very happy with the way things were until Google pulled the plug on Reader and made it harder to follow "decentralized" content.

They made the move because walled gardens are much easier to use, require far less effort and have nicer friendly UIs built by large teams of UI/UX people who have the goal of keeping people captive via browser sessions and their mobile apps.
