the proof is right there…in the fact it requires bridged accounting rather than just bridging the protocol.
when i see a 100% independent bluesky instance including the internal router, ill believe it.
as it is, you have to beg them for access to their network (inclusion in their proprietary routers) or have accounts on their servers. thats not open federation.

Its less open, but its definitely federated. Whether its a walled garden or not depends on the definition ;)
not a single independent instance exists to communicate with it. i wouldnt call that federation
