All this rests on the implied assertion that ATProto is part of the open social web.

I’d say it is, since atproto is, at the very least, open.

Is it “open” sure, but not in any meaningful way as long as 99.99% of users are hosted by the same server.

open social web is used here as a descriptive term, to mean the collection of networks that includes activitypub, atproto, nostr (and potentially more like matrix and farcaster, depending on your inclination).
whether open social web is the correct term or not does not really matter, because if it was not than i would simply have to replace it with another term that describes the exact same thing

It’s “open” in the same way that cryptocurrencies are “open”. It doesn’t matter how technically decentralized the power structure is when someone owns more than 99% of the tokens.
