Could ActivityPub replace RSS even though it is not intended to do so?

Sort of. You can just poll it like it is a feed. However annoyingly if you want push updates you need to subscribe which is a publicly visible action. There is no way to follow a feed without having some profile to appear as a "follower".

ActivityStreams is the closest counterpart to RSS, whereas ActivityPub is the "push" standard that's ultimately built on ActivityStreams.
