No platform pays nearly as well as YouTube does on average. If they upload to other platforms, and you watch the content on those other platforms, they’re going to make significantly less money than if you watch on YouTube. Even if there’s increased reach from uploading to multiple platforms, the creator will almost certainly make less—so there’s less than no incentive for them to upload elsewhere.

99% of the times when something like this happens it's about money, so just follow the money..
One reason could be difference in how much the other platforms pay vs YouTube. Uploading multiple places also requires more effort and coordination, might not be worth it from their perspective...
I know that Peertube doesn't have any built-in monetization right now, so they would probably be relying on viewer charity to make money on some platforms.
Some do but it's an agreement with their uploaders and the instance owners.
No money.
Multiple major YouTubers would need to migrate simultaneously and make the new platform the only place to access their content before the viewers necessary for monetary gain move. And that is not likely to happen.
Not enough people to watch. But even on Youtube, only shorts can get views better than the regular videos. Most people don't search for content and they don't like ads.
What platforms?
For months, on the YouTube app, 95% of my videos play for 5 seconds, then skip 10 seconds, then play the rest of the video.
It is ABSOLUTELY INFURIATING.
