average person finds federation to be a difficult concept
Personally, I don’t find this to be true, and/or it doesn’t really matter for the signup process, especially for Peertube where viewers usually aren’t expected to have accounts.
This is just my anecdotal experience describing federation.
Although to some degree it doesn’t actually matter. The on-boarding process shouldn’t even require understanding of federation and it should be just a feature of the platform (show, don’t tell).

All your other points are spot on though
Fair point.
