Because Meta’s investors didn’t give a shit about making a good product for people, their goal was to turn people to a good product. And the dev team knows it, this is why they weren’t really pleased to continuing this shit. Engineers that made Meta’s Headset was really a talented people and they done a good job, but the problem is the economic paradigm in which this technology was born.
This is the same main problem with all this VR, XR, Metaverse and other new technology. Is that they can be used for peoples good, but for now, they are used to turn people in to a good.
