Does their goal in this specific venture have to be making money or funneling devs directly into the Meta-verse? Meta makes a lot of money already and seems to be working on multiple moonshot projects as well. As you mentioned the FOSS crowd knows how to hold a grudge. Could this be an attempt to win back that crowd and shift public opinion on Meta? There is a non-zero chance that Llama is a brand rehabilitation campaign at the core. The proxy war element could just be icing on the cake.
