Zuckerberg has never liked having Android/iOs as gatekeepers i.e. "platforms" for his apps.

He's hoping to control AI as the next platform through which users interact with apps. Free AI is then fine if the surplus value created by not having a gatekeeper to his apps exceeds the cost of the free AI.

That's the strategy. No values here - just strategy folks.
