I have the same thoughts. I feel like when you post on the Fediverse, it's just public. It's like shouting something in the town square - it's out there, anyone can hear it. If you're not cool with that, maybe you shouldn't use ActivityPub.
Not just ActivityPub, everything you upload publicly online is, well, public. One of the first things I learnt as a kid about the internet is that everything you put online stays online. You can't expect to be able to upload things online for everyone to see but somehow still have full control over what those people do with it.
