It’s not really a rumor anymore. They’re shipping between 500k and 1m units. I thought he was doing what any CEO would do shining his own products in the best possible light, I mean, you really think he’s going to be like,

“yeah, sure Apple screwed me and all that but it’s awesome that they’re getting into XR because they’re going to make the world a better place”

No. Companies are not altruistic nor should they necessarily be.

Of course I don't expect him to say that. There's been people here and elsewhere saying, "this is good for Meta, actually", and Mark is also saying that.

And I don't know what to make of the logic. It might be right! It might not. I'm interested in opinions on that.

My comment is just that it doesn't appear to me, based on the defensiveness and lack of excitement from Mark, that he believes it.

OF COURSE I don't expect him to say they're screwed, if he believes that. If I expected that, I wouldn't be trying to work out his mood when he spins it as positive. I don't know if he thinks this is a positive thing for them or not, but his demeanor suggests not to me.
