Does it matter that they don't run an instance?

As long as they have accounts and keep them up to date, that is the main thing.

How many open source projects actually run and moderate instances?

The effectiveness of the internet as a public resource depends upon interoperability (protocols, data formats, content), innovation and decentralized participation worldwide.

So how does not running a virtual soapbox that is niche and most do not care about affect the public's ability to participate in the internet from where they are?

I'm not sure if you didn't understand the point or are cherry picking words to satiate your feelings?
