And what stops meta from getting your data now?
Yeah if they wanted to scrape the fediverse it wouldn't be hard for them, and threads wouldn't even be necessary to do that
For me, it's not so much about what they can do now, but what they will do in the future.
I'm not a very technical person (at least in this field). But I'm infinitely distrustful of anything Meta does and I consider it hubris if we think we're safe with the implementations we have now. They're talented and ruthless at what they do; making money out of you, whether you want to or not.
They already have it and it's called browser fingerprinting.
