> Meta's Horizon OS is Android, so they could basically just do the same.

They just announced they're doing that: https://developers.meta.com/horizon/blog/building-2d-apps-on...

AFAICT there won't be Play Store support though, so devs will have to publish their 2D Android apps specifically to the Quest store.

Presumably Google wants VR headsets to run Google's own version of Android, perhaps called Android VR (or the like), though I haven't heard of a VR version of Android developed by Google. Previously they developed Android TV and Android for smartwatches. Even a version for cars I believe.

Thank you for the link!

I maintain an Android app which doesn't require Play Services. Might as well get it on the store if Meta is encouraging it
