You may not think it's reasonable, but the evidence suggests that it is. If 100 people could do it then the market would be flooded with high quality standalone vr headset systems.

Valve did it with like 350 people in the whole company.

Valve's system isn't standalone, and wasn't trying to create a whole new vr platform like fb was trying to do

Yes, it is, and yes, they did. It can run PC games standalone, and Steam VR on SteamOS is a platform they created.

(I’m talking about the Steam Frame, not the Valve Index.)
