Gaming is just the gateway drug to the Metaverse. And they probably bought the studios mainly for talent.

The recent launch of the Quest Pro was clearly focussing on use cases other than games, and the pro's resolution and pancake lenses appear to be now reached "good enough" to work with/read text in.

That's true, but a common reviewer complaint is that the work applications still aren't there yet. There are a few design VR apps, but most of the big productivity apps on the Meta store are just bookmarks to web apps. This changes when MS and Office arrive on the Quest.
If that were true, the work features would have shipped already, but they were busy with gaming which is why they bought several game studios. Games were a major focus for meta because it’s one of the traditional vectors for new technology adoption. Well, that and pornography.
Let’s hope that you’re right now assuming meta is changing course, and I’m wrong because I’ve been waiting to use the work features. So far, the 3rd party options and the resolution for reading text still isn’t good enough
