> It’s worth remembering that Meta isn’t in this to make a games device, nor really to sell devices per se - rather, the thesis is that if VR is the next platform, Meta has to make sure it isn’t controlled by a platform owner who can screw them, as Apple did with IDFA in 2021.
Also, Meta wants to be the gateway to connect businesses with people (the primary requirement for the company) and to connect people with people, slurping every bit of data it can from all its sources in an attempt to become like the Eye of Sauron (unsure if this analogy holds).
As such, Meta has self-imposed limits on what its headset can ever be.
