I mean they're a mega corp willing to lose billions upon billions to own the market. That none of their competitors are willing to bleed money like that isn't surprising, and buying into such an obviously poisoned platform is not a good idea for the future of the industry unless you want it to be owned by Meta.
I fully agree with you that Meta should not have the quasi monopoly that they have. But what's the alternative?
Alternative is not to give any money AND data to Meta
I'm sorry, but it's not. Same as the alternative to a meat-based diet isn't "have you tried starving?". Only other inside-out tracking headsets are made by Apple and Pico (Bytedance). Both companies that are as bad as Meta. You can debate whether humanity needs VR/AR, but that's a different topic. VR in it's current state is driven by Meta.
