They’re banking on severe vendor lock-in preventing people from moving on. So many communities are solely on Discord now, it’s insane.
Would something like Stoat (previously known as Revolt) eventually have the same requirements?

Stoat is self hostable like Lemmy so it is enshittification proof.

Until some company buys it and then it has to rename again. Happened to a number of FOSS projects. At least forking and “starting” anew is easier

You can buy companies, organizations and people that run FOSS projects, thus buying the project. Audacity was bought and enshitified. SimpleApps suffered a similar fate on Android.
In both cases, the community forked the last “good” version and renamed the project
