I don't jump right to EEE because more and more folks who weren't alive (or aware) for the early examples of it don't seem to believe it's possible or could happen again. However, I agree with you entirely.
Unfortunately some people do not want to acknowledge that our large businesses are downright evil. For those who doubt this, consider the pharmaceutical companies that raised insulin prices up to hundreds of dollars a month. They did not give a single shit that people would die, so long as they increased profit from their captive audience. If big business doesn't even care whether you live or die, why would they care about the much smaller stakes involved in the federated ActivityPub space?
