I think it was probably as much to compete with Bluesky, which also says it will have federation (with its own protocol) Soon^tm^ as anything.
If Bluesky actually starts federating, I think there's a good chance Threads will.
Threads, however, has explicitly promised Mastodon integration, so it won't use a proprietary protocol.
really love bluesky i just hold they either do both protocols or make an activitypub bridge. i think that all the alternative networks working together is the best way to prevent post twitter special network splintering
