If Threads follows through and implements ActivityPub, ATProto is dead in the water. ATProto may be superior in some ways (namely account portability) but ActivityPub is "good enough" and there's already a bunch of applications using it in a distributed fashion.

Also I suspect it's a high priority for Meta as it blunts any anti-competitive attack from regulators. Complying with open, interoperable standards is usually far more important than whether or not you're a monopoly. And the EU in particular already has the mechanism to demand these companies comply. BlueSky could end up making a huge mistake by not adopting ActivityPub.
