Google did the same thing with Google Plus they went all in on social and it failed miserably
It was actually a really good product, way better than Facebook, unfortunately if you have a social media platform that's invite only then it's never going to succeed. I really have no idea why they did it like that.
Facebook started out as invite only for a few years so they might have been looking to emulate its early trajectory. Gmail also started that way.
