It makes way more sense to me that the experiment with federation will ultimately be to connect their own services. For example, so you can follow an instagram thot from your facebook, or you can message someone on whatsapp using facebook messenger.
They definitely don't need the ActivityPub for that
No, but google didn't need to do XMPP to create a messenger either.
That's why they use SMS/RCS lol
