but we can just defederate with meta, right? Worst case we set up a new server with how we like stuff incase our server's admins don't want to

Not exactly. Technically that might be true, but what will probably happen is that Meta become so ubiquitos is that they'll influence the landscape such that no one else will want to use a non-Meta instance; that's their goal, after all.
