Why is Facebook "meta" but Google isn't "Alphabet"?

They're both awful attempts at rebranding, it's true.

Google is still a separate company, owned by Alphabet, the holding company. Facebook is changing their name entirely as a company. Facebook will only exist as a product that Meta owns after this.
