Why spend the money up front? That's just bad business. They'll only do it if there's real traction in the rest of the verse blocking their shit.

Yeah agreed. They're building a multi-million dollar social network - why spend all that money up front when they could have just installed small anonymous Pleroma on Raspberry Pi for under 100 bucks if they'd wanted to mine our data.

I don't think fedi is their "target".
