I haven’t spent enough effort understanding ActivityPub to come up with something coherent. But i often find myself with similar thoughts, although for me its usually focused on “would it be possible to create some kind of service-agnostic ActivityPub client?”

Yes, it is possible.
Whether enough people want it is a different story, and most developers are stuck in the app store mentality, so it gets difficult to get enough support for this to move faster.

really? the developers I know doesn’t seem to have this problem. They are all like “we should make those thing into one” I guess the opinion in this post came from them as well

There are a lot of architecture astronauts that will keep talking about “we should develop a grand-unifying system”, but most of them are all talk and little result.
When push comes to shove, the developers that actually ship are the ones that look at problem they want to solve and work on that.
