Right, but they took a perfectly good (great for the time and the price) and messed it up for a couple years with a really ugly, oversharing, privacy threatening account system. I am sure many-- probably most-- people didn't care but I think early adopters and developers found it very alienating.
People say that the Meta account-- or the old Oculus accounts-- is the same as the FB account they mandated but really that isn't true. For a while they were essentially forcing you to run FB on your phone or browser to use the hardware. It was super yucky.
I really like their hardware and I appreciate that they are working on developing a platform. I just wish they could be content to sell a platform and sell aps on it, the way Apple does.
