Mets is not different than any other person entering the fediverse. They are ultimately a company and will do what they need to be profitable. Ultimately they advertise social connection, and that's their business model.

Why is everyone acting like meta is different than anyone else, they're not special.

Because decentralized social networks don't need to be profitable. That's the whole point of this. Spread out, smaller instances, there is absolutely no need to for an instance to become so massive that it requires profitability to continue.
