My guess would be because of the reach? Like, Twitter has a lot of users and a lot of important figures in politics worldwide use it. Not that many people, both as in political figures, and small users use the Fediverse.
I use neither Mastodon nor Twitter (I’ve never understood the value of microblogging) but one of them is freely available, the other one is restricted. In my view – as someone who has no account on either platform and only occasionally goes there if it’s linked somewhere – Mastodon has a much wider reach.
Oddly enough there is a mastodon instance run by a German federal agency: https://social.bund.de/
No idea why the chancellor doesn’t use it.

But then again, you could just do both.
What reach? He literally needs to repost them elsewhere so people can read them freely.

Hopefully when twitterx goes extinct the German Chancellor will just spin up their own instance and federate their content.
