The initial premise was you can make an account anywhere and it works transparently anywhere.
The new premise after the "de-federation" update is it still works transparently so long you're a good citizen with nothing to be ashamed of, which is enough to make users feel the Fediverse lost its thing or something along that.

No, that premise is a misunderstanding of the actual initial premise: build a bigger system via federation, that is a series of independent systems that can agree or disagree on precisely what level of interoperation they will engage in. Some people mistakenly imagined that everyone would make the same choices, and thus "make an account and it works everywhere".
