And how many people even know there are other PDS's? You install the official bsky app, you create an account and the account gets deleted, how are you supposed to know? There's no message, warning, alert, etc.

The vast majority of people using Bluesky don't use a 3rd party or self-hosted PDS because they aren't and probably shouldn't have to be aware of it. It isn't even a prominent feature. At least with Mastodon, it's a big part of the culture at its' core... you don't see this with the official app even.

I didn't even know that was even an option until you mentioned it. I only know that there have been banned accounts on the official/default one that didn't even post anything yet.
