It seems to me that the advantage of ActivityPub is more at the level of helping social networks overcome a cold start problem. Right now, anyone who wants to start a new social network can connect with the Fediverse. That’s pretty cool! But federation is usually pitched mainly for its benefits to users, and I think there are other ways to achieve many of those benefits.
