It's extremely important to allow at least viewing the content via a regular web browser. And to allow that to be done natively and frictionlessly, without having to rely on protocol bridges. I can send a link to a Mastodon post wherever to whomever, even if they have never heard about Mastodon. Can't do that with p2p networks.
