Threads was built on top of Instagram infra (essentially Instagram but for text posts) so it's not surprising the two accounts were intertwined. Would have made it easy to roll out an MVP (minimum viable product) when there was a need for it, and quickly iterate on it after launch. The original launch didn't even include a web version as it wasn't finished yet.
