I think the reality is that the useful part of meta-verse, the meta part, runs contradictory to the interests of a company like meta. Because it involves:
1) De-proprietorizing user data
2) Handing identity from identity providers (like meta) to open systems
3) Allowing foreign content into the walled garden
So Meta built the least useful but snazziest part of the meta-verse, the verse part. And they built it in the face of a bunch of other already extant "verses", like Roblox which offer a more intersting landscape for interaction.

They made Second Life but without the ability to ruin a CNN press conference with flying human genitalia, which basically means they made a worse version of Second Life.
