Meta does not give a shit to absorb the fedi. We are like a thousandth of their size, just a blip on their radar. I have no idea where people get this idea of self importance that Meta cares about their 10 user server.

Might be because of Threads, and Meta seeking to use ActivityPub themselves.

I don't disagree with you though; I don't think the fedi is big enough at the moment to register as more than a blip on their radar, as you said.

Microsoft was using Embrace Extend, and Destroy against Linux 25 yrs ago when it was a blip compared to MS.

This tactic is designed to be used against potential opponents before they become a real threat.

It costs peanuts to eliminate a weed in your yard when it first sprouts.

It also gets the jump on your neighbours who might be interested in this little weed as well.

Also you can’t have unmonetized weeds popping up everywhere they might inject colour and variety into your barren add riddled hellscape.
