I've seen people complain that Mastodon doesn't offer curated accounts to follow. Like, yeah, I wish more content creators were on it (not totally related) and be able to find those that are (this is "the problem" people have) , but I don't want some feedback loop of creators just gaming the system to start trending, etc. Mastodon doesn't amplify anyone over anyone else. You can argue maybe having a lot of followers can amplify your message, but only if they each boost your message individually.
Long story short and without the rambling rant, I agree with you and am surprised when folks complain. Honestly I just don't think they have taken the time to realize the downside.
Why do people need to follow content creators everywhere? Just watch them on YouTube or Twitch and leave it there. These people don’t care about you at all.
