Being that the original meaning of the metaverse being basically the internet in virtual reality, yes it should be a hodgepodge of apps and services.

It seems people heard the word metaverse and think we will all live in virtual houses, walking virtual dogs, and shopping down virtual isles at supermarkets.

That's not the metaverse, that's a video game app for a virtual life. While there will be multiple games like this, it's not what the metaverse is.

The closet thing to the metaverse is Oculus Home (not Horizons), Steam VR, Windows Mixed Reality.

These platforms are in very early stages and mimic the dawn of internet services from AOL, Compuserve, Prodigy.
