You trust Meta to do this unfailingly, without making an exception for themselves which you will consent to somwhere in a 30 page user agreement or a dark pattern in the UI?

That goes against the very soul of their being as demonstrated by everything they've done to date.

If meta actually wanted to sell consumer electronics to people. They have no choice but to actually compete with apple and apple will beat them in the poll "would you buy this exactly same ___ device from Apple or Meta?" at least today in 2026.
