I don't think there would currently be an open source scene on the llm front without meta and their llama model. They really kickstarted things.
They literally sabotaged the business model of Google and Microsoft because they weren't part of the club.
I'm guessing they are destroying their rivals moat so they can have a chance to build their own but I really dig when corporations bring each other down instead of colluding, even if it's for the wrong reasons.
Corporations bringing each other down is called competition, sonething these corps haven't been subjected to in a while.
Meta have done great stuff making a lot of the most useful open source ai tools, I think it's possible zuck is just a bored little rich robot that wants to live in the future.
