Another metaphor that might be useful here is small town America, that grew rich and prosperous when the highway came to town. With traffic comes the need for instrastructure for all the governing that has to go on to support the town the new transit system created. Threads won’t be doing any of that. Ever. But it’s a natural mission statement for a decentralized network like ActivityPub and ATProto combined. They can be bridged, and each can focus on the missions they are good at.
