PHYSIX OBSERVATION
Meta's shift from open-source standard-bearer to closed-source paid model is an inevitable choice under commercial pressure. Zuckerberg is using Muse Wonder to demand revenue from the enterprise market, but Amazon blocking Muse agents from placing orders has already exposed ecosystem barriers. Leading benchmark scores do not equal smooth deployment; old privacy debts and developer trust are the real thresholds.
