Because the metaverse is a stupid idea. Reminds me of that 3d web browser protocol that came out in the 90s. where you had to naviagte 3d paths to go to the next link, like walking to street signs.
Indeed, that is what is so baffling for me. It is called, marketed and perceived as something very different. It is Second Life, World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV and others. You have a certain core in which the audience is interested in and then social constructs form around them. These modern Metaverse things try to skip the entire core part, but then it just becomes a chat app.

The metaverse already exists, imo. It just isn’t called that and doesn’t belong to zuck. It’s all the multi-user VR experiences that exist today.

I mean the Mii like characters where Meta thinks we will enjoy that for office meetings
Multiverse already exists, it’s called VRchat
I remember that shit, it was kind of neat but functionally pretty stupid.
What’s the protocol called?
I think it was VRML.
