Technically, they could do that now already. It would just be a single "Meta app" available in all stores, which has in-app purchases for extra features, such as FB, Insta, WhatsApp, Oculus, etc.

They didn't do it in the last 5 years, so there isn't really a reason to think that sidloading is the one thing that is preventing them from doing it now.

The way you explained it sounds like you open the “Meta app” and inside, you have tabs for each service? And then these services open within the same app? I might be wrong but doesn’t this violate App Guidelines?

Even the Microsoft 365 app shows you Outlook or Teams in the “Apps” section, but launching them from there still opens the individual apps for Outlook or Teams.
