The only way they would do that is if they could monetize it somehow.

It'd be another method to drive traffic to their websites and gain more ad revenue. Same as maintaining a presence on twitter or facebook, or providing an RSS feed.

Yeah totally.

I had the thought that since Threads “doesn’t want politics” on their platform, and Twitter is trash, maaaaybe activity pub could be a thing.

But you are right: they won’t do anything if it won’t make money.

Isn't their entire strategy to fish people onto their site, make money that way? Twitter doesn't pay them either.
