For me it isn't even so much about the privacy invasion or having to have a Facebook account, it's being locked into one store. PCVR doesn't have that problem.

Sure, with some hackery. I'd rather pay for something that doesn't require me to work around it like that. Why pay for this in-headset computer if I'm not using it?

You're correct, it used to require hackery, not it appears it is an included beta feature.

In the quest 2 yes, it was introduced while the quest 1 was already out.
