Mastodon doesn't implement the #ActivityPub "API" (C2S). They don't conform to either the client or server profiles in the AP Recommendation. They implement a very small subset of AP/AS2 and they don't conform to the AS2 Recommendation for the parts they implement. Their software supports > 80% of the MAU in the Fediverse (all protocols, not the SWF definition). And Evan uses this as evidence of ActivityPub's success? I think Mastodon has thrived despite ActivityPub problems, not because of it.
