Tux is a blackbelt in Karate, and has many combat skills including using Katanas and flips (which he learned from Kat and Ana). Tux also has an iq of 135. He's also a skilled Marksman. He's good at driving, can slide on his belly, and is resistant to extreme cold, being a penguin. He's also a good general, and of course, he's great at using Computers. Mostly Linux, but he can use Windows a bit too. He's especially good at Emulation.

At least I got a laugh out of it. It does seem pretty useless as a reference though.
How would this help? What is the problem this addresses?
Many of the functions provided by a Mastodon service is split into separate services in the AT Protocol. This means there are instances that just handle an end users data, instances that just handle indexing and streaming out the amalgamated end user data being streamed to the "relay", there are instances that are just filtering the stream from the indexing relay. so basically the various backend parts are modular with the AT Protocol rather than monolithic as is assumed by the ActivityPub protocol where separation is assumed to be only between the frontend and backend of the service.
Bluesky is probably going to capture more of that than Mastodon. But threads is similarly struggling to develop it as well and they have very low barrier for new signups for anyone with a Facebook or Instagram account.
Many people are most interested in profit as their only KPI and mastodon puts up a lot of hurdles for those people.
Anything that you're not willing and able to keep financially sustained yet rely upon will likely be used against you by someone with more resources. This is why groups like Fosstodon, Beehaw, and Fedihosting Foundation stand out in these spaces. They are both transparent and financially sustainable. But most of that sustainability relies on unpaid volunteer labor.
Bluesky has no documentation for running a relay (indexing node). It doesn't seem like they intend to have any documentation on it any time soon. But it is possible to set one up yourself. I don't know anyone that has done so.
I've been using mojeek and ddg, but I've been considering setting up SearXNG on a server.
Are you talking about blusky's indexer?
Kinda ignored the internet for a week and nothing fell apart, so I'd say they're going well.

You can even question if the compiled version running on an instano is the same as the version posted to GitHub. There's no way to even check what's running on the server you don't have access to.
Trust is necessary at some level if your going to participate on any hosted or federated service as you pointed out.
They're purposely disruptive to the community, they are not part of the community.

I agree with just about everything you said, except that it won't be a technical can of worms to implement the change according to the devs.
Fedify is a TypeScript library for building federated server apps powered by ActivityPub and other standards, so-called fediverse.
