They could offer the slickest interface and keep people locked to their friends. That interface can use protocols that make it difficult/impossible for non-Threads instances to play ball (ooh this cool new feature is only available through the Threads app; Oh, my basement.world.ml.xyz can't read that content).

My fear is that some people is advocating for defederating the instances that doesn't defederate Meta. In my opinion that would be awful for the health of the Fediverse, as it'll be even more scattered.
