There is no logical business reason why the astronomically huge FB/Meta entity should want to federate with our little ol' fediverse, which is like a mere gnat to them.
No, the only reason Meta is doing what it's doing by messing around with the fediverse is because of the "Billionaire Ego".
They (zuckerberg et al) feel they should own the whole world. They can't stand the idea that there are people who don't care about them and don't want to use their products or submit to their world view.
They can't stand to see people ignoring and happily using *their own thing* instead.
They must be paid attention to! They must touch the thing, they must appropriate the thing, they must change the thing, they must control the thing, they must own the thing!
And they will, to a large degree, with plenty of willing participants eager to welcome their new overlord. Many fedi nodes will be sucked into the metaverse.
But they can't assimilate all of us.
