Why do "apps" even need to be installed on it. Isn't it just a sensor array and a couple of displays?

I used to think everyone should learn a programming language just so they can experience its expressive power but more and more I wish they would so they wouldn't get duped by really dumb marketing.

Because Quest 2 is a stand-alone VR headset. It is not a display device for a computer, it is an all-in-one. So you install games on it to play them.

The camera based tracking is a marvel of modern engineering. Making something seem simple is really really hard.
