A lot of the people I follow are trying out Threads, but because of no federation yet, you need to use their app to see what they post there. It's a bit clumsy and I don't think that they launched without fed on accident.

I wonder if we'll also see people posting on both Threads and Mastodon, which will mean having to follow two accounts for one person if I want to see both. Just seems odd to use both rather than migrate.

Trying to think positive about this, but just not seeing many upsides so far.

No, they defined a minimum valuable product and had to get a somewhat stable app out the door to capitalize on Twitter's negative press. Deadlines are how features get cut. You see this in video games all the time.
