What a market-driven initiative might do, whether they adopt #ActivityPub or invent some other protocol stack, is bring major disruption to the #Fediverse. Or make it less relevant, side-tracking fedi.

Say a major company invests $100 million, creates a protocol stack and 2 well-productized apps with a smart business model behind it.

Suppose in short order they attract 10 million users. Regular folks. And they make good revenue. Attract other vendors, etc..
