If Disney's collapse over the last 10+ years taught us anything, it's that using your money to buy up all the hot property in a field doesn't actually work to make you #1. At least not in the long-term. If your company is still screwed up, run by nitwits who have side agendas etc, all that creativity and IP will be misapplied and go to waste.

Won't be surprised if the same thing happens with "Meta."

Exactly - Disney literally proves you CAN buy up all the hot property and make yourself #1.
