Well for one, if a feature is implemented in Atproto, it'll be implemented for the entire federated network. With ActivityPub, there's inconsistency with the features (You still need Glitch-soc if you want Mastodon with text formatting, for instance) and, while yes it's cool that I can talk to Lemmy from my Mastodon account, it's quite a clunky experience IMO and shouldn't be a selling point to the regular user who just wants to post about what they're doing.
