The elephants are easy to explain:
1. Microsoft crossing something from the paper title is not as relevant as you think it is. People might be just having fun while it was being written. You can anyways try for yourself what it's capabilities are. There is no need to rely on the paper title in comments.
2. OpenAI has had massive investment from Microsoft (like ten billion dollars). And they rely on Microsoft for all hardware related things (selecting the optimal hardware config). They hired some of the best in the field from Google, and a small team of smart people can do wonders (e.g, see the number of fundamental Google technologies by Jeff Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat in the 2000s).
3. Google is a big company and suffers from all the big company problems, plus they have enormous brand risk if their chatbot utters some words wrong. Anyone might accuse them of being A or B depending on what the chatbot says, which can damage the highly profitable products.
4. I mean that seems incorrect. If you have friends working in Meta they will tell you that people were really working on the Metaverse.
5. It is not cross organisation, hence every single company is trying to see what they can do. Again easy to verify if you have contacts in the companies at high enough levels.
6. If anybody has nuclear fusion, it would be too stupid to not use it in the tightest control possible way. Energy is the core problem of the modern world and nobody is going to sit on limitless energy.
