Personally, buying an index for me did not feel overpriced, and I'm barely a thousandaire. I'd tried the existing crop of standalone hardware (for accuracy's sake, this is circa 2020). Those, relative to their performance, felt overpriced. I feel that got what I wanted, for a price I felt was fair. The build quality is up to my expectations. Fully acknowledge this is niche, but the value proposition didn't make me gasface.
When computing power is 10-20x better, cooler, more efficient and smaller, I'll order from that menu, and you nailed it with the exclusion of Zuckerberg. He's done more to cringe-ify VR than any google glasshole ever could, even if we ignore the creepy idea that I'm a "product" to them while using occulus...
Relative is not what keeps this niche.
