Reality: the name change doesn’t hide anything.
Neat to think they believe it does.

They wouldn't have done it if they didn't have evidence showing that you are wrong.

I'm curious where this belief comes from that large companies do not mistakes. It's almost as if you're implying that they're omniscient. Just look at Twitter for examples of how these large companies absolutely can and do misjudge markets.
If you think the name change means they're focusing on the metaverse, that's just convenient. The fact is, Facebook is a toxic brand and Meta is just a silly looking brand. Post name change, they can do acquisitions and brand them as X by Meta without associating to the toxic brand. (Plus, maybe they can get the Mennen ad team to add 'by Meta' to the end of all their ads with audio)
