I think it was a plan by Mark to move LeCun out of Meta. And they cannot fire him without bad PR, so they got Wang to lead him. It was only a matter of time before LeCun moved out.

Isn't putting Wang as leading him a worse PR compared to just letting him go?

Anecdotally: No, I had no idea who he was reporting to so it sounds like a natural moving on storyline.
