Can someone explain why all of these federated services are so left-wing? Don't these people have enough of the normie internet catering to them already?

Left leaning people are more open to new experiences and thus are often early technology adopters just like they are often early social practice early adopters.

In Lemmy's case, it may be because the creators were banned from the left wing Reddit communities for genocide denial and promoting neonazi literature. It's a textbook case of horseshoe theory, and I won't go near that service with a 10 foot stick. By all accounts they seem to be awful people.
