Did you stop reading or are you intentionally trying to phrase it as if the universities won't do anything?
That sentence is in the very next paragraph you quoted from.
It doesn't seem like you're even trying to make a good faith argument.

My first sentence and first 4 words are "So what’s stopping them?". So did you stop reading before that - or what are you even arguing about, and where is your 'good faith'? You're arguing about meta-nonsense without answering
What’s stopping them? What do they even need from "federation" or "ActivityPub" to just build this?
Good grief, here's the quote once again. That's what's "stopping them". And if you bothered to click on links, you'd have read that an event took place where they discussed how to contribute and what the goals of contributing are. The comment you quoted from even has a link to a very legible paper explaining what problems they face and how federation can help.
But I get the feeling you just want to be angry at something and dislike universities for some reason. There's no need to continue this "discussion".

Right.. well clearly I have clicked all the links, and read all the things, and I still don't understand it. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
So assume in good faith, assume I have absolutely no idea what the problem even is due of my own stupidity. So ELI5 and give a synopsis of the problem.
