I assume its Embrace, extend, and extinguish. Its something Microsoft is know for and this worried me when they started to "Embrace" Linux. However, I don't believe big tech can do much in terms of polluting open source and the fediverse.
I dont follow this much but I can see that these companies are investing into what they think the future could look like.
Might just be me...
That's what they want you to think. (not sure if I'm being sarcastic or not)
Even if that's true, once they become a part of the ecosystem, they will start looking for ways to dominate it. That's just the nature of for-profit corporations.
I don't think you need to read too much into it.
If Meta concludes that federated platforms or activitypub may one day start to eat their lunch, then the clear and obvious first step to any strategy is to have some sort of presence in the fediverse.
Honestly that's as far as you need to go for the moment. Grab some market share and then avail yourself of opportunities as they arise.
Perhaps it will be EEE, perhaps something else.
