I think you have it flipped around.

We still think of Alphabet as Google. So while Facebook may effectively become Meta, people will still say "Facebook does X" when they should technically mean "Meta does X".

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the rebrand? If Facebook is going all in on Meta, wouldn't they want people to think Meta does X instead of Facebook does X? Especially if they're trying to distance themselves from the increasing stink that is Facebook.

What Facebook wants and what the public winds up doing isn't necessarily the same thing.
