Pixel phones are great too, but Google would be a radically different company if they tried to saturate the demand for Android hardware on their own.

Making flagship/reference hardware on the Oculus legacy is a much better strategy for Meta and lets them focus on platform vision and data collection, which is exactly the company they spent the last 15+ years building.

"Garbage" is harsh. It's flawed but they are streets ahead of Pico or Vive.

Ironically Google Daydream was also very polished and now Google is starting again but with a gigantic dent in their credibility.

I really hope Meta keeps making hardware. I want a Quest 4

Yeah, me too. It would be really sad if Meta stopped hardware development and left it to other companies.
