Do you think is unrealistic? Why do you think Mastodon has political issues to make the necessary changes?
Lemmy doesn't seem to get much recognition in the wider Fediverse - it tends to get bundled as part of 'other apps'. Mastodon is much bigger, so better integration with Lemmy probably gets deprioritised below their own issues and feature requests (e.g. I was reading today that Markdown support is often requested, but the base version still doesn't have it)
I can't directly answer your question. I know very little about Mastodon, as I just recently made an account. However, from what I've seen with a variety of open-source projects, as well as the fediverse itself, it seems that group politics may often hamper the very projects "they" are trying to improve. I hope that people try to remain in the spirit of their projects, whatever they may be.
