People have also forgotten how to maintain a filesystem of data and keep it up to date and well organized, themselves, locally.
They don't have the patience to have to copy that data to another server to get it published.
And they also don't seem to have what it takes on their own local systems (e.g. properly run email tools) that allow them to maintain a social network with ease - i.e. without involving a third party.
All of these things are the fault of the operating system vendors, who have fallen asleep at the wheel and sublimated themselves to the web.
Now, what if that same OS knew how to talk to other users of the same OS without hassle or fuss, and sync stuff to each other?
And then, don't you think by then, that OS would have decent social-media services onboard, which don't require any third party other than actually confirmed friends ...
Imagine an OS that allows you to properly maintain a nice timeline of everything you do with your device(s), locally. Its an OS - it'll function without 'the Internet' .. but of course if you plug one in, it'll do all the above.

Without needing a corporate sponsorship to do it.
tl;dr it's the OS vendors, duh.
