Why? Because Meta is the company among the Big Seven that's best at following trends. Whenever a new concept emerges, they're always the first to jump on it.
For example, when the metaverse hype was at its peak, they were the first to push VR. Similarly, when AI was just starting to show promise, they were the first to call for buying Nvidia GPUs. When Google's Gemini was hot, they were the first to come out and tout buying Google QPUs. Of course, conversely, when the tide recedes, they're also the first ones to flee.
