Yep. Nothing will change without actual government regulations. People just don't care, and sadly that's the reality. People will continue to not care as long as it doesn't affect them in any way. It's the same reason people with a lot of money vote for parties that enable them to have more money whilst not caring about how it affects people of lower "class".

I'm not going to even consider Threads though, because I quite like Lemmy and even if Lemmy and Mastodon, etc gets "extinguished" by Threads, I will stay here. I assume a bunch will do the same.
