Yes, terraforming is a big way in which close-to-WAS scenarios could arise. I do think it’s smaller in expectation than digital environments that develop on their own and thus are close-to-WAS.
I don’t think terraforming would be done very differently than today’s wildlife, e.g. done without predation and diseases.
Ultimately I still think the digital, not-close-to-WAS scenarios seem much larger in expectation.
