How would one "prove" the reason they changed their name is for PR? A company would never outright say "Our reputation is terrible so we are trying to trick everybody by coming up with a new name to redirect attention." Google did it because they were structuring businesses that matured out of Google X - like Verily & Waymo. Facebook doesn't have such a similar business reason. Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook are all in the social media space and all relate to each other. The alleged reason "to rebrand under a Metaverse umbrella" makes it clear this is a very different reason compared to what Google did.
