Your reaction to the metavere "stat" is exactly the reaction I have to every "metaverse prediction" I see. Massive eyeroll, followed by a strong urge to scrawl "SHOW YOUR WORKINGS" over the top in red pen. I even came up with an article idea purely around debunking terrible metaverse predictions, although it evolved into a longer series covering some other angles.
You have to wonder how McKinsey et al can publish these predictions with a straight face, but it's not like anyone in 2030 will remember to call them out on missing the mark. As you said - how convenient.
I would almost class these predictions in the "entertainment" category. There is a demand for them, but no-one could possible take them seriously. Right...?
