It's not silly at all. There's a practical reason why they changed their name. Facebook is one of many products from the company. Facebook is Meta but Meta is not Facebook.
The "practical reason" is to distance themselves from the rep they've earned as slop-pushing privacy-invading child-abusing culture-destroying ghouls. Why would you go along with that?
I mean, that would make sense if it actually achieved that. But it doesn't, because that describes all of their products.
