Being able to migrate away from a service requires a common protocol (as it is the case for email) or it would require a lot of individual migration processes for all the intricacies of the different providers.

Instagram goes so far as to ban links in everything except one field on your bio. They intend to own your connections to your friends and customers, and extract rent over it. It’s a terrible thing.
