For what its worth, if you believe Meta's product does do this damage, the other products which do similar things should also abide by it.

It helps simultaneously "level the playing field" but also protects consumers.

If the courts stated ruling is hinged on consumer protection then this seems fair. Any competitor which doesn't follow suit is likely opening themselves up to a similar lawsuit which would cost a similar order of magnitude of damages (so it is in the interest of the competitors to do take these actions)
