Here's one way it could happen

Facebook joins the Fediverse, becoming the largest instance
Majority of Fediverse embraces this
Facebook decides to deviate slightly from ActivityPub
Not wanting to be disconnected, majority of Fediverse follows them
The real, ActivityPub-based Fediverse is dead (or as small as it was when it started) and now Facebook controls its (former) instances

Step three is really making a lot of assumptions considering the entire reason Mastodon exists is to limit the control of big companies.
