Why Cities: Skylines 2 performs poorly

AR Kit is Apple's thing. AR Core is Google's thing. Neither of those are Unity's fault. AR Foundation is a Unity layer to present a common interface. Which of my books is a good thing.

Open XR is also an an attempt to make a cross platform layer for vendor specific APIs. Again not Unity's fault. The Unity plugin system is a common interface for all XR devices.

I'd generally support your sentiment but in this case you're picking on things where Unity had mostly got it right.

This comment made things more clear to me than the documentation that I saw, perhaps because I was looking at it from a Quest 3 perspective and their main page about it doesn't mention that at all.

I know what Open XR is all about but again, it's not clear which you should actually use for development if you're only targeting Quest devices, for instance. A little extra documentation would go a long way.

The same goes for all of the other things so frequently mentioned like their renderers.

Honestly, like a lot of Unity functionality, what you do there is pay $50-100 for an asset from the store that handles things in a sane way.
