All the examples you provided were infrastructure, not social communities, so I think it’s a poor comparison.
Instead, I’d compare AP federation to _social_ constructs. Communities, clubs, groups of friends. Even larger constructs like cities or nation states.
In _those_ examples it’s clear that limiting association is commonplace and healthy.

Syncing is fine, but I want to be in control of what is doing the syncing.
