Meta open sources its tools: React, GraphQL, PyTorch, and now these new models. Meta seems to be about open sourcing tools, not providing open access to their platforms.
The AI model complements the platform, and their platform is the money maker. They hold the belief that open sourcing their tools benefit their platform on the long run, which is why they're doing it. And in doing so, they aren't under the control of any competitors.
