IANAL, but I would expect that this could squeak by as Fair Use, considering the website is intended as a commentary on the various UI designs. If it's ever an issue, the fair use rationale could probably be improved by adding some des

Leaf is a compact hatchback, whereas Model X is an SUV. A better comparison would be Leaf and Model S, a sedan, which is rated at 241Wh/mi (and can reach this in actual use[0].) [0]: https://www.reddit.com/r/teslam

FWIW, the controllers feel exactly as good as the Quest 1. They are bigger, but I don't think I would call that a "downgrade."

For simple 2D games, I feel that Godot is often a far better choice than Unity. However, I've never used Godot's networking or multiplayer features, so I can't comment on those.
