It feels noteworthy, but I don’t think anyone will care about this. Who‘s going to use the Quest as a productivity device, natively? And why?

I can't imagine the nightmare of trying to edit a document, let alone a spreadsheet, using a VR headset

You can pair a mouse and a keyboard afaik, but there’s nothing else there. Its not a "general purpose" platform.

Probably the same reason why people continue to use Facebook and its products...they don't care about privacy and they like being abused and fed lies from every avenue possible.

Not everything has to be about privacy or Meta. The Quest isn’t a productivity platform and it’s most likely going to be a terrible experience if you were trying to use this as a PC replacement. There’s literally nothing else you can do natively on it. And even these "apps", they’re just a browser window. It doesn’t work offline. You can’t have a notes app next to it. I don’t see this going anywhere at all.
