Supposedly, as per the pokemon company's former chief legal officer: most of their executives in the US are there on green cards and are likely worried about losing them if they move legally on this.

My 2c:
The technology that makes the fediverse is based on open source principles.
The corporate world has made untold billions off of the backs of the open source community, not just by stealing projects outright, but by throwing a closed source application on top of an own source foundation.
Hell, every Linux user in the last 20 years can easily point to features in Windows, Mac, Android and iOS that are blatantly stolen from open source.
Almost all AIs are the exact same they shamelessly steal from the open internet, from all of us.
No AI.
