the problem is its easier to use because there is virtually no federation. Ive yet to see a user thats not from the flagship bsky.social instance

Maybe you’re already aware, but bluesky doesn’t operate with instances like in ActivityPub land.

I’ve seen many people I believe are using their own PDS, but yes, discoverability is likely better because a relay is meant to aggregate and share all data it can (look up “bluesky firehose”).
