The Google+ comparison is off the mark, I think. Google has deep seated issues that make them dysfunctional in certain things: basically, they are terrible at dealing with human beings. Whatever you might say about Facebook/Meta, they know how to run a social media network.
Comparing the launches of Google+ to Threads shows the disparity. That thing Meta did about signing up influencers to pre-populate the network? A cheap little trick, but effective, and Google could never pull it off.
