profit corporation being able to suck up your posts

anyone can spin up a server and federate, anyone can suck up your data, corporations, governments or unknowns

Yes, but consuming data and using someone else's data for profit are 2 different things. Don't believe me, start reposting a large news websites data verbatim with AdSense on it and see how quickly the cease and desist comes.
