Since VRChat isn’t open-source and runs the servers they can do whatever they want. They could add in required ads and telemetry. They could integrate blockchain. And they can do this five years from now when they are much more popular and much larger communities are tied to them. If you’re upset that they’re banning modding and adding an invasive anti-cheat, it’s a good time to look for alternative VR platforms or start creating your own. This is one of those cases where "open-source" means something. And while the meta verse isn’t small or new anymore, it’s still experimental buggy stuff, so a small team working on their free time may actually have the potential to compete.
