If I'm not yet censored then why wouldn't be better off saving time by using much easier tools to publish my speech?

So that's essentially a public goods problem. If the censorship-resistant tools aren't popular, they won't be there for you if the censorship does start. But you'll likely have little effect on their overall popularity by publishing your own content on them, so you do better by publishing on the easiest tools, and hoping to freeload on others building popularity of the resistant tools.
The best way to address this is probably to make the resistant tools as easy and compelling as possible.
