kinda true, but I'm surprised how some apps expect you to watch movies upright (TV+, Disney), which makes watching movies laying down quite "non ergonomic". ;)

The Meta Quest 2/3 finally fixed that a few months ago [1], where you "tilt" the horizon of the entire OS [2]. So it doesn't matter if an app doesn't support it -- you can lie on your bed and watch a screen directly above you even if it was only designed for horizontal use. It's a game-changer if you have back/neck problems.

Does the AVP not have something equivalent? To be honest, I was surprised it took Meta so long to get around to implementing it.

AVP doesn't support it when in 'theater mode' but if your video is a typical window you can simply lie down and recenter it onto the ceiling. The horizon stays locked but any windows can be parallel to the ground.

also not with 3d "Windows" (e.g. Cut-The-Rope).

I can lay down and recenter the windows to float above me

yes, with windows. But not with Theater Mode or 3d "Windows" (e.g. Cut-The-Rope).
