I'm ignorant as to how that's done right now. So correct me if I'm wrong but: To "migrate" you basically want to have all your "followers" follow your new account. For obvious reasons you cannot just let people arbitrarily make others follow them. So the process must be mediated by the server(s). If your original server doesn't like you they can cut off your ability to "migrate". And on top of that any server that doesn't like you can just cease interacting with you regardless of whether your "followers" like you or not.
