I have every post made on BlueSky up to a certain point last weekend and it's only 3 GB.
I have every email I've ever received or sent (and not deleted) and it's only 4GB.
Should something require I download all that every time I login? No. But having a local copy is amazing, and a truly federated system should have and even be able to depend on those.
The Mastodon Server Covenant is a joke; the only enforcement is to remove the server from the list of signup servers; which if it just fell over dead because the admin died/doesn't care/got arrested/got a job will not matter.
