Exactly, if Meta sticks with snapdragon+android, it's game over for them. If you've been following John Carmack, one constant theme in his posts while still working there was his dissatisfaction with the underlying stack (Os+Hw) and not pushing the envelope hard enough.

Apple has a huge advantage with its vertical integration and nearly complete control of the entire stack. Android being a janky/buggy/glitchy mess is the icing on the cake.

Carmack also pushed for more affordable headsets to increase adoption of the technology.

imo it is a technological marvel but the size of the demographic willing to spend $4k on a headset with no proven long term value is quite small.
