I didn't know where you were going with that when I saw this post, but I tend to agree that on a conceptual level there's no problem with a few instances being really popular.
I think that we should always be advocating for smaller instances made up of tighter communities for various reasons, but there's nothing wrong with it if a bunch of people end up on bigger instances. You really think that the Hollywood types are going to start running web servers solely for the purpose of accessing social media? That would be kinda fun, but it's not going to happen. Same with your typical man on the street, they can't figure out how to program their VCR they're not going to be running multiple servers. Email is essentially a federated system, and most people have Gmail accounts.
