I'm willing to bet that the metaverse (defined by me as AR glasses) is a future that's coming and that Zuck was just too early, just like Palm Pilot was arguably too early. The use cases are too compelling, effectively a computer assistant that can tell you anything and everything about what you did or are doing. Yes, privacy people will hate it but the rest will eat it up just like they don't care about privacy on their phones.
An AR-glass assistant is very different from the metaverse Zuck blew tens of billions on, which was a shittier version of Second Life in VR, with a side of blockchain
He wasn't early with a good thing; he was unfathomably disconnected from reality with a bad thing
