Monetization and the pursuit thereof; they need to forgo the profit motive. I don't think they're able.

  Why would they need to forgo the profit motive? The goal would be to retain their present prime position, transported into the Metaverse. They don't have to own the Internet and its protocols to generate $44b in operating income every year. By helping to establish the Metaverse, they'll aim to lay down a system that makes monetization possible, which they can take advantage of with their resources. It's quite simple and straight-forward. When you're integral to establishing a new system, you get to help form its inner workings, you get influence in setting the rules for how it works.
