This is nonsense. Why should Meta stamp out the bollocks money pit the Metaverse proved to be - on which hype train many companies jumped and flushed much money down the pipe (including Apple) resulting in a loss of public image - why should that all be part of a plan? That's the stupiest thing I heard in a long time.
Guess what: companie's CEOs are not all-knowing master entities, yes, they try to predict the future as best as possible, but they can only make guesses, too. The Metaverse showed that often enough they bet on the wrong horse. This was more of a: see the opportunity and seize it kind of situation.
