I can fully understand your examples.
Now, of course, you can argue back and forth. I don't think that is currently the primary goal of Mesh.
Microsoft differentiates very well here. First, Mesh addresses the "commercial metaverse", I don't really like the term metaverse either, and the things you describe are called "industrial metaverse" by Microsoft. Of course, there are also overlaps and permeabilities.
It is up to us to identify meaningful and value-adding use cases from this area that offer us a good entry point with the customer.
But I agree with you that the examples where people just hand out "likes and hearts" will not be enough to convince business decision makers to invest in more complicated economic times.
But there are also such use cases in the commercial metaverse and that Microsoft will provide suitable functions for this in Mesh quickly.
