It can't exist. You can't launch a new competitor to a mature and well-developed platform and hope to come anywhere near its feature set right off the bat. That's never gonna happen, especially when a lot of the "requirements" you presented there are expensive shit that takes years of hard work to develop. You're gonna have to give them time. And money, as it happens. They're not gonna be able to develop that VR you present as a requirement if everybody refuses to use their platform because there is no VR. It's a catch 22.
I'd be happy to support any kind of platform aiming to do these things even if it doesn't have them yet, so long as it was open source or had some kind of structure that prevented enshitification. I'd contribute, probably force myself to use it where possible much like I do with other things. The issue is that the current competition trying to do what steam does (epic) is just trying to do it but worse.
