Part of (my) definition of a platform is that when you buy it you are fully paying for the cost and contribution the platform provider made when you buy it. If there's a residual financial (or other) obligation after that then you don't have a platform, you have a partnership. I know there's other definitions of platform but that's the one that's important to me.
I guess you can always buy an android based headset that allows sideloading but presumably it won't have the same level of investment.

Meta is constantly mocked for how much they have invested. You can argue about how much it paid off, but they certainly invested.
I think the point is that Meta’s investment is weak compared to Apple’s full court press. It really is laughable.
Ouch. I'm sorry to hear that, I feel sorry for folks like you that are sensitive to nausea. There's so much potential in this tech but I can see a whole new class of disadvantaged people coming who aren't able to fully utilise it.
