Everyone talks about avoiding oculus products because of the walled garden of available apps, but these are gonna change the world? It’s just a bigger garden with a bigger wall, I just don’t see it happening.
The feeling I get from people that avoid Facebook products is not due to the walled garden but instead due to the company that makes the product.
I don’t want to strap a data collection device to sell me more ads to my face. Hence, I won’t buy an HMD from an advertising company.
Apple is not an advertising company. Yes they advertise on their own properties but a majority of their revenue does not come from ads. As such, Apples incentives are drastically different than Facebook, so I will buy hardware from them.
