I’m surprised by all the negativity. Is it not a good thing Meta is going to use open standard instead of a proprietary one?

Meta is not going to "use" this technology, they want to own it. And you can be certain they will try their best to build a walled garden with a Facebook login, so the masses pick their form of fediverse rather than the one not controlled by big tech.
Peoples negativity comes from experience with these corporations. You are probably pretty young if you don't see how bad they are.

Meta does some interesting open source work, extra hands on fediverse open source might be reasonable.

We shan't bend the knee!
I have mixed feelings about Facebook being a part of this, but I honestly don't know if I'd want to get closer to Facebook. 💀
what are your mixed feelings? truly, what do you think is the positive of meta getting involved?
