Theoretically, that might be their plan.
They could get their service federating, and then sell instances to potential admins who cant afford the hardware to deal with a threads spammed fediverse. They could rent out fediverse virtual servers on their physical servers just like Salesforce does(or now, AWS, servers, just like Salesforce does.)

Not a lawyer(Am a dev though). That might get them out of the legal responsibility to moderate content since it might fall to the instance admin to organize that.

Then they can have a twitter and reddit competitor that requires no content policing on their part. And they control the hardware and servers behind the scenes, so they get to insert ads and scrape all of the data.
