It's talking about new networks not already established ones.
New? Old? Don't think it really matters in this case
Of course it matters. A new network will have to start from scratch and with the "nobody is there, so I won't join"-mentality, potential growth is severely limited. By implementing federation, you will instantly have a base community to build on.
There's "nobody" on Fedi either. Also federation isn't for everyone. It greatly complicates lots of things.
