I don't think that this will ever really be the case. Even if ActivityPub became public standard, there would always be other protocolls and different extensions/versions of ActivityPub. And that's good, because only then can ActivityPub continue to develop, if we have an abstract idea to compare it to. And that's the Fediverse for me.
