I think Zuck has taken all the bad news about social media and stuff and wants to change course and be remembered as the "guy that made AR/VR mainstream" and not the negative social media connotations... What other reason is there? Just to make more money? He already made enough.

It's never enough for these guys. It's a game and money is the score, they just want to run up the score.

Well they can’t all invade Parthia and die horribly! Might as well run up the score.

Is your comment meant to imply that Zuckerberg continuing to try to create or advance a new technology, even though it has a high likelihood of causing him to lose (a lot) of money, is a bad thing?

Nah VR solves his browser problems. Sony Rootkit style access to the user's system, with VR drivers/launcher, Access to biometric data like eye/mouth tracking (users making their own), whatever you can fit on a fitness watch (advertising with heart rate and blood pressure biometrics), and of course camera access to the user's room.

Likewise I imagine it's soul draining to Zuck being told no by Apple. So they're probably obsessed with making their own walled garden.
