While Meta and the people it'll bring with it is something I want to avoid, I gotta respect it when a massive company is willing to adopt an open standard they're not in control of.

yet

Make no mistake, they will certainly try to capture the standard under their exclusive influence, just like Google has done with everything web related.

A corporation only ever adopts open standards when it is advantageous to them, the moment it is the counter they close it down or stop cooperating.

This has been repeated with Microsoft, Google, Oracle (Sun too), SCO for those of us old enough etc.

Embrace, extend and extinguish has been done over and over again from them all. Meta/Facebook is no different.
