I'm a statistical anomaly

Huh a GM answering my questions, never seen that before. May I ask why I'm always ignored, when I ask for a match with GM.

In addition to the points ILB raised, there is also the concern that they may well end up facing a Cheatin' Dirtbag. And such challengers have been known to come off as rather clamorous and aggressive at times (not to mention acting rather resentful and petulant if you don't fully accommodate their wishes).

One more thing: nowadays you can play a computer that'll play a million times better than any of us flesh-and-blood types. So why not avail yourself of such a sterling opportunity? No more having to head out to the weekly chess club to find stiff competition (after walking 10 miles through a blizzard!).

Different ratings on the same site work differently.
The same modes (bullet, blitz, rapid,...) on different sites also work differently.

No, all the ratings work the same.

Ratings in different pools have nothing to do with each other, even though many people feel like they should. But all pools work the same.

I assume that we are telling more or less the same thing, just with different words. The top blitz ratings are above 3400 and occasionally even above 3500, while the second highest active classical rating is around 2550. This is what I meant by the pools working differently (different number of players etc.) and what you probably meant as well.

personally i think it's nice that most players would still much prefer to get crushed by a strong human player instead of an engine. warms my otherwise ice cold heart.

Chesscom blitz pool has always been very deflated

Chesscom blitz ratings reach both much lower and much higher than on Lichess. My Chesscom blitz rating is around 3000, and I'm no anomaly in this respect. High-rated GMs tend to be rated considerably higher in blitz on chess.com than on Lichess.

A rating does not have an absolute meaning. It depends on the pool that you are in. But it has a decent relative meaning. The Wikipedia article on the ELO system says, "The difference in the ratings between two players serves as a predictor of the outcome of a match. Two players with equal ratings who play against each other are expected to score an equal number of wins. A player whose rating is 100 points greater than their opponent's is expected to score 64%; if the difference is 200 points, then the expected score for the stronger player is 76%." That is, if your rating is 200 points higher than your opponent's rating then you will likely win 3 games out of 4 (or win 2 and draw 2).
If you want a normalized form of your strength in a particular mode, look up your percentile. Maybe your blitz percentile on Lichess is similar to the one on Chess.com or to your rapid percentile on Lichess.

I simply cannot explain, those diffrences apparently
I'm very good at rapid, but bad at blizs ( chess.com)
I'm better at blizs, but worse at rapid (lichess)

Wondering if your post feeling like it's meant to be haiku is also a statistical anomaly. Let me try:

I cannot explain
Good rapid, better at blitz
Good blitz, worse rapid

I can't speak for the other GMs, but personally I like to play against similarly rated opponents. (And take longer breaks even from that.) Many GMs including me are pros, which means that asking them for a game for free means asking them to do a bit of their work for free. Many people would've declined that, not just GMs. Having your hobby as a profession is nice, but you should also relax and keep time for other activities to avoid a burnout. Given how many GMs and how many non-GMs there are, GMs who regularly accept such challenges might spend a lot of time on it. (Which makes sense when streaming and playing your followers or real-life friends, but much less sense otherwise. There are many other activities to be done in life.)

But for example Magnus Carlsen said he doesn't experience burnout.
