I've heard that some of the AR stuff got nerfed because of the ability of IR cameras to see through some fabrics and Facebook not wanting to have those headlines in the newspapers. I just heard it as a rumour though, perhaps an insider with a throwaway account can "shed some light".

While I don't have insider info, I highly doubt this. The Quest 2 (which I own) uses monochrome cameras without IR cut filters, and they do passthrough with those. So any problems with privacy would have been found already with the current device.

That was the projected-IR depth sensors that got removed. It's unclear how those would affect the image quality here.
