Is there any value in gamification outside of pumping dopamine through veins? Even for the people who play games?

I think it will be really interesting to see Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Flickr etc joining the fediverse. Wouldn’t it be beneficial for the users if the platforms don’t have that luxury to keep users within their platforms and have to do better to earn loyalty of the users rather that rely on “vendor lock”.
