Might depend on who you talk to. Everyone I spoke to about it was under the same understanding that it’s integrated deeply with your Instagram account.
I spun up my old burner Instagram account to check the platform out. They tell you that you can only change things like your name from Instagram, the app let’s you import all other profile info from Instagram, and when you login for the first time it shows you the thread profiles of everyone you follow on Instagram and gives you a button to add them all.
It’s not just an Auth method, it’s the same account with the ability to change a few things between apps. Plenty of reasons to hate Threads, but this ain’t it.

Ah, I see. Totally makes sense then, yeah. Haven’t had the chance to have a closer look at Threads since it’s not out yet in the EU.
