If you were rejected from the Quest store, you can still put your content out there on SideQuest.

And I have. But the reality is that the vast majority of Quest users don't know about SideQuest and/or don't want the hassle of sideloading.

And SideQuest is terrible experience for me.

Sideloaded apps now give multiple scary warnings about the Terms of Service: See e.g. https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/4487.pn... .

"May put your account and device at risk" is not going to get you a viable third-party app ecosystem, especially when it's an open question what Facebook/Oculus might decide to clamp down on in the future.
