I actually agree with the vision, like its clear that media convergence will all kinda lead us into a common tech space, be it AR / VR / 3D whatever. But I don't think it needs to be called metaverse. We should have another name for it. Not to give "Meta" as a company the same honor as google received for "googling".
If there is going to be a metaverse, I'm not sure I want Facebook to own it. It's like a bad sci-fi pulp story. Given their investment and research, I wonder if they should open it all up (even if contradictory to short-term gains in ad revenue) so it has a chance to grow? Federate it a bit more than they are comfortable with, to at least give it a chance. I could see this flubbing out hard otherwise. I'm personally…
A VR world controlled by Facebook, with Diem as currency, that can only be accessed by Oculus... what can go wrong?
My kids will never use that crap I assure you.

We could rename metaverse. Maybe derive prefixes from chemistry? Meta, ortho, para. Paraverse. Orthoverse. We can't keep using metaverse now.
It makes me believe Zuckerberg is completely surrounded by yes-men who never challenge him and only tell him what he likes to hear. He is truly detached from us normal people and our human experience.
My god, if you get it, you get it. They are going all in on metaverse / have decided that the future of oculus is the primary long term bet, not facebook itself. And they have the money to make it so. This is incredibly scary, and probably a good investment.
