“Why didn't they use Memoji instead of Persona?”
Reading between the lines, I think there's quite a bit of NIH going on.
Memoji is built around SceneKit. SceneKit is incompatible with RealityKit (which is meant to be a substitute, but falls far short), and RealityKit's security model, and thus can't be used for 3D content in visionOS.
Apple would have to rewrite Memori/Animoji in some form of RealityKit, and visionOS’ RealityKit is not [today] compatible with iOS/macOS. Lots of wasted effort
