Did they get told to shove it by Google when they asked through back channels? To even come out and essentially say publicly "they can still get their 30% cut" is just wild to me.
Also of note, they don't mention any license. Is the hope they can avoid the Google antitrust concerns Google is running into that Apple is somehow avoiding?

Google then went on a PR offensive accusing Meta of fragmenting the VR/AR ecosystem. Meta is including this in the announcement to head off criticism by Google aimed at creating pressure on Meta to consolidate on AndroidXR. https://www.roadtovr.com/meta-google-android-xr-quest-rejected/ https://www.roadtovr.com/meta-google-android-xr-quest-reject...
