IMO the way to prevent such a scenario from happening is not by blocking Meta, but by inviting equally large competitors to join the fediverse. The described tactic can only work if you have close to a monopoly.

Well they aren't blocked at the fediverse level. They are blocked at the instance level which is the fediverse working as designed.
