Then why don’t they accept any instance? Fediseer has an api where they can see the most reputable instances and limit to only allowing those reputable instances.
Because of what everyone else here is saying. If you’re a company like Valve, you don’t want to open a portal to undesirable content that isn’t moderated. They chose the biggest instances with the most users because those are generally going to be the safest ones.
They should use fediseer to accept the top 100 most reputable mastodons

which is why im saying use fediseer so they dont have to hand pick 5 instances

Fediseer chooses instances INTENTIONALLY
Super cool
They probably just wanted a handful so they can slap it in a regex and be done with it.
