Perhaps, but I doubt it, for 2 reasons. First, the key technical difference I described in the OP. The second is a consequence of this; the people most likely to have the skills to set up a new centralised aggregator (relay) are more likely to see the weakness of the BS/AT model -especially after a total crash - and set up fediverse servers instead.
