Sweeping generalisation. Some people care about some individuals more than the organisation to which they belong. Think Trump funs who would vote for Trump whichever party he stood for, or Tucker Carlson fans who would watch him on any network, or Tom Brady fans who would follow him whichever team he played for.
But for every Trump, Carlson or Brady, there's a 1000 Liz Trusses or Huw Edwards, in whom most interest is solely because of the organisation to which they belong.
And there's no reason an individual can't have both an organisation account and a personal one. Even aggregate accounts which pull everything together. Mastodon offers a lot of opportunities to do things differently.
