Article seems to argue against something that not many people are arguing, which is that Meta is at risk of imminent death. It's a giant, if it dies it will be a very slow, boring and drawn out affair.

Without a doubt they are still a money printing machine with billions of users but the real debate is whether they at all still innovate and the Metaverse discussion which Ben barely spends a paragraph on should be at the center of it given that they've even staked their name on it.

Anything people like about FB is companies they bought or features they copied. WhatsApp, Instagram, etc. The blue app is the Java of social media, everyone uses it but nobody likes it. Meta has a governance model that should be very dynamic, Zuckerberg is literally dictator for life. But the thing they've only ever been successful at is making money, which if anything is owed to people like Sandberg, who now seem to be leaving.

A company that is run essentially by one person has the business model of something that's run by a committee, and the one creative decision he makes in decades seems like a total flop. That should at least be slightly alarming.
