I was going to reply but you nailed it. Its about outmaneuvering smaller competitors and controlling the marketplace, and then harvesting user data for profit.

They can already harvest the data. Nothing on the ActivityPub is private

Sure, ignore my actual point. This is getting monotonous; enjoy Threads.

What point was that? If you don't join Threads, they don't have your data. They do have everything you publish to the Fediverse though, no matter what you do.
