Having replied to a text, checked my emails and responded to people on HN all from my first-gen Oculus Quest, I'm not really sure what you're talking about here. Do you not find a web browser sufficient for those tasks? Is there something inherent to the Quest ecosystem that should be stopping me here?

1. Many people prefer apps over browser experiences.

2. Many commonly used apps don’t have a browser experiences with equivalent features. Take Instagram for example.

3. With the Quest , you can’t really multitask, except for the Quest Pro.

The Quest 1-3 are equivalent to game consoles in many ways. I can use a web browser on my PS4. It doesn’t mean it’s a full productivity system with multitasking.
