Including Threads with Fediverse might have an interesting impact.

I agree. Even though the privacy control is opt in to share their posts with the fediverse, I think it's fair for Threads to be counted as a server in the fediverse holding user data. It just has more advanced privacy than others.

adding Threads's 400M users changes the ActivityPub fediverse centralized market share to 99.72%, beyond that of BlueSky's share of 99.55%.

Threads barely interchanges with the rest of the Fediverse, it's basically bridged. By this argument you could include Truth Social and Gab, which are directly based on Mastodon source.
