Part of the problem is that Oculus has all the overhead from Meta’s regulatory compliance burden, so they can’t escape some of the most frustrating pressures.

Regulatory compliance would be quite easy by just no doing spywares.

Meta could have a subsidiary that does nothing but stamp out manhole covers. That subsidiary would have a far higher compliance burden than any other manhole cover manufacturer.

Their past choices have consequences. It’s too late for them to “just not” do anything to reduce that burden.
