I’d like to note that a lot of people posted yesterday complaining about a Meta walled garden - the MS partnership (and Zuck’s previous comments) to me points to the opposite strategy.
One other thought - since hardware is the limiting factor right now, it’s clear that Apple will have a massive advantage with their vertically integrated hardware capabilities. But _they_ are much more likely to go with a walled garden approach, which could hold things back.
I think in the short term, the enterprise market is a good way to build the installed base and bring down the cost of headsets. And especially with a lot of people recently moving to remote work due to Covid, I think there is a newfound appetite to try novel things to foster interpersonal connection while working remotely. (Not to mention that many companies now have a huge reduction in OpEx from ditching their office lease.)
