> If another company were to openly share alternatives to Meta's core assets, I would welcome that as well.

Metas core asset is human attention. "Sharing" it means selling ads. I don't think there is an open model to that — just giving away access to users is probably not it — but that's only one of many problems with "sharing" attention.

Like I said, it won't happen (for various reasons). So while it's cool that in theory we just want everything to be more open, and celebrate Meta for doing that where they do, and asking for more where they don't, my original point stands.
