I know what you're saying, and i kinda agree, but even including Windows, the share of VR users is still small, and that's making use of drivers that generally work ootb. VR just isn't as popular (yet?).

I didn't know about Microsoft pulling away from MR. I would love to have a MR headset, so I'll have to keep an eye out. Thanks!

About two years ago, Microsoft axed the entire MR devteam, and a few months back announced they will remove MR entirely in a future update to Windows.

I once had a Samsung Odyssey (not the +), and while the Quest 2 has a better screen resolution and much better controller tracking (and the 3 improves on both again), the Samsung's OLED displays have way better contrast ratios, which makes it much better when running games that have dark scenes.
