I agree account portability _even if the original instance shuts down suddenly_ is critically important.
I definitely don't agree this would be hard to create on ActivityPub. It needs <some trusted place> to be your account backup in case it's needed. And yes, that trusted place could be self hosted for those that don't trust.
(Currently the main Mastodon codebase would need some, but not extensive, additions to be able to recreate a posting history. Replacing origin addresses in a database isn't data intensive though)
