I think he's talking about the weird VR meeting software with cartoon avatars, not the hardware itself.
The Oculus is great, but the way it's actually used today (games/social VR chat mostly) is still pretty niche.
Facebook is really pushing this new metaverse use case that blends VR with work/meetings/etc. I personally think it's a non-starter, they seem to be trying extremely hard to manufacture a trend, rather than capitalizing on an existing one.
But I've been completely wrong about Facebook twice before, so what do I know.
I got my open source WebXR app running pretty well on the Quest browser. I honestly think that WebXR is going to be the metaverse especially with seamlessly walking between worlds.
https://vox.run if you want to check it out. Supports any WebXR browser and the dev tools are built in.
