Threads is bootstrapped off Instagram. People I know who tried it out like it because they don't need to rebuild their network, it just copies the Instagram followers over so you start with all your follows and followers. Instagram also has over 2 billion users so they probably just tacked this on top of the existing Instagram infrastructure and called it a day. Instagram already supported comments so the backend for this probably required minimal changes.
