Notes -
At the moment having HF in your code means you can try a new model almost just by swapping out the string in your model load function.
I don't think it's a moat in the technical sense. You do need the infra and I suspect it's not that easy, but not that hard either. I think it's just a coordination point, like owning Twitter or Github. If you're subtle, you can put a thumb on the scale here and there: mildly encourage A, mildly discourage B. NVIDIA got their position largely by making early AI research far easier on CUDA libraries than on any other GPU, so forward-thinking acquisition of coordination points isn't out of character for them.
