Facebook "stealing" the word Meta from public use pretty much sums up the company's vision for me - uninspired at best.
When I think about the possibilities of AR, I never think "meeting with people". Maybe in VR. But I could care very little less about that.
The possibilities for AR are absolutely immense. And I look forward to a world where the physical space is aided by technology. Much in the same way 30 years ago I looked forward to a digital world. And we see how that tuned out.

As much as I dislike Facebook and Facebook-adjacent companies, the metaverse concept is indeed what the company tried to bring to life, and Meta is indeed a brandig keyword that fits both the concept and the marketing goals. There are many, many reasons to dislike what Zuckerberg's Facebook et al. does but I'm sure it's branding strategy does not even get into the top 10 reasons.
