They absolutely will. The EU’s Digital Markets Act requires interoperability between social messaging services. ActivityPub is an easy way to comply because they are “technically” interoperable but can still choose to only federate with instances that abide by their rules.
I don’t know if that loophole may work. But if it does, it may work only for a time until a consumer association escalates that to the European court of justice.

Did thye define how to achive interoperability? They can make a ActivityPub clone to call it interoperable but no one else use it.
