I agree. Wordpress powers something like 40% of all websites. 40% of the web having a low friction way of publishing to the fediverse is a big deal. Sure, this doesn't mean that almost half the web is suddenly "on the fediverse"; the more ad-dependent a site is, the less likely it seems that they'll enable this unless they can do so in a way that brings users to them. I want to be able to have a fediverse feed that's as much RSS feed as news feed, but that's my preference. I'm really glad WP is making it easy for folks to use ActivityPub.

Corporate publishers are probably feeling the burn of the enshittifcation of Medium and then Twitter, and annoyance from the Instagram ad volume and Threads uncertainty. I bet they would welcome an something more boring like a Wordpress blog that was totally under their control. The critical part that's missing is an easy way for end users to subscribe (e.g. a popular/easy RSS/Atom/feed reader standalone product or feature).
