That's not a realistic proposal if Facebook volunteers dev resources to improve and support ActivityPub and we grow to rely on that. In the same way that Google co-opted the W3C to now just accept Chrome as the default, I can see something similar happen if Threads really kicks off and has a ton of effort put into it.
It's a lot more grey than you'd expect given the absurd resources that nation states have compiled to try and usurp Google's dominance, but all the same I'd rather not have the internet rely on something made by a publicly traded company that cuts projects on a whim.
