You lost me when you mistook valve for Facebook.
The Index is overpriced by itself and relies on equally-overpriced external hardware for tracking. The controllers are nice, but again, hideously expensive. It's an excellent choice for people already committed to doing VR on their gaming PC. That is not a lot of people.
Inside-out and standalone is the right answer. Inside-out, standalone, and cheap. And not attached to Mark Zuckerberg.
Personally, buying an index for me did not feel overpriced, and I'm barely a thousandaire. I'd tried the existing crop of standalone hardware (for accuracy's sake, this is circa 2020). Those, relative to their performance, felt overpriced. I feel that got what I wanted, for a price I felt was fair. The build quality is up to my expectations. Fully acknowledge this is niche, but the value proposition didn't make me gasface.
When computing power is 10-20x better, cooler, more efficient and smaller, I'll order from that menu, and you nailed it with the exclusion of Zuckerberg. He's done more to cringe-ify VR than any google glasshole ever could, even if we ignore the creepy idea that I'm a "product" to them while using occulus...
Relative is not what keeps this niche.
