Eh. AP isn't magic. Platforms can be pretty incompatible because of their differing use or implementation of AP. I feel like at some point there's a blurry line between a bridge being something different and just an extension of 2 protocols.
Definitely, AP is not magic. But if even within one protocol round-tripping and full-fidelity is impossible or very difficult, that makes it only harder and less likely through a bridge.
Yea a complete protocol to protocol bridge seems far off for sure. But a platform to platform bridge seems to be working fine for the moment (masto-bsky), and that seems a reasonable expectation.
