Yea but how are they going to extinguish an non-centralized social network?
They enter the Fediverse, use ActivityPub, begin adding some "extensions" to it and suddenly everyone has to play cat and mouse with the new extensions because Meta has 90% of the users. Then, some time later, Meta says they don't see the need to be federated anymore and pull the plug, disconnecting everyone in the Fediverse from 90% (or more) of the users and from the communities that live on the Meta side.
Just look at what happened with Jabber and Google Talk.
