My understanding is that favorites are equivalent to twitter likes, and boosts are equivalent to twitter retweets, but on twitter people like way more then they retweet, so why is it different on mastodon?

Mastodon has a bookmark feature to fulfill this use case.
You can absolutely use favorites this way too but if you ever want to save a comment without the poster knowing bookmarks are the way.
