The most common argument I see is the lack of recommended content. Mastodon only shows you what you want to see and if you don’t actively follow accounts and hashtags, your feed can seem empty. That’s a massive difference to the birdsite. Quitting algorithms cold turkey is too much for some. They probably hope Bluesky is a middle ground.
That’s weird to me, because it’s easy to go to the search page and see popular hashtags, posts, and “for you” recommendations. I haven’t used Twitter, so I don’t understand what the algorithm offers that those things don’t.

I feel like algorithms ruined social media for me, when I open Instagram I don’t see any content from my friends or family so I just close it
