Maybe we are dealing with semantics but people are looking at this as a fully immersive environment where VR is the main medium of access. If that is the case, we are a long way away.
Plus, the Metaverse cannot operate in a cloud based world. Massive amounts of Edge computing is going to be required, something we are still a long way from achieving. As long as latency is as big a problem as it is today, we cannot have the experience they are talking about.
So, as many are framing it, I disagree that Metaverse is Web 3.0. All that you stated is the foundation for Web 3.0 and will, ultimately, place into the Metaverse but they are not the same in my opinion.
But a discussion that could go on forever since there are no true definitions for each.

Now, you have a point here, I can recall reading through a certain article about Wikipedia and some other shits, where Web 3.0 was the subject matter, this was the same thing layed out there that the term "web 3.0" has more people talking about it but less people actually defining it, it's quite funny but true. Same thing with the metaverse, it's far bigger than we imagine it, probably require quantum computers to function properly.
However, I would immediately stop talking about the metaverse if VR should be the only medium of access, that won't exactly be efficient, thus not so affordable for the average population, definitely a blow off...
That might be the case now but it will probably not be so in 5 years. We tend to see technology improve and prices come down. Of course, that is not always the case.
And in my view of the Metaverse, based upon how many are framing it, VR is the access point.
