How the IG profile gets "nuked" is really a side point. The relevant bit is the completely non-intuitive (and one could assume unnecessary) marriage of the two profiles.
threads has always been heavily advertised with its Instagram integration. the app is called "threads, an Instagram app" and the onboarding flow itself is based on your existing insta follows. you can disagree with this strategy but it's definitely not unintuitive or unnecessary, they make it extremely clear

Instagram head of content posted on Threads: "To clarify, you can deactivate your Threads account, which hides your Threads profile and content, you can set your profile to private, and you can delete individual threads posts – all without deleting your Instagram account.
