They can do that without Threads though. Everything you upvote, downvote, and comment on is public record. Plus the way federated content works is the host server isn't accessed unless you actively try to go there, everything else is reposted in your local instance. So they're not going to get data from Threads that way.
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: they don't care about the Fediverse one way or another. This is just a way to kill Twitter, and they're doing it through a loose alliance of sorts.
