I think corporations are desperately trying to capture a prior form of the internet where there was a lot of creativity bouncing around because people were making stuff for fun rather than money or notoriety. They're trying to reinvent second life, but make it private.
They all believe they can create a second layer to the internet, a sub internet. It reminds me of how public spaces don't exist anymore in real life, but every now and then a private company will set up a little park or shops somewhere. But it's not really real. You get kicked out after 10pm, or it's just for residents, or it'll have its own private security. They want a metaverse that's like a mandatory private enclosed internet.
