If Meta does this, it will just degrade the experience for people in Threads as the accounts they follow start going dark. The fediverse by-default gives Meta powerful anti-troll and anti-spam mitigation tools, they have no excuse to demand individual TOS agreements on a per-user basis. Even if the results of such a move segregated the community, the only side with leverage is the one that freely federates content. Threads would start bleeding users if people realized they could get "old Threads" back by using Mastodon instead.
If they wanted to make Fedi implode, they would do nothing. They have 100m+ users as a captive audience, giving them a reason to leave is a bad business plan.
