I have a Quest headset, and I have no idea. But of course I don't want anything to do wih their "metaverse", so I would't be able to see where most of their work went.
What I can tell you is the parts I did use, like the system UI and app store, are complete shit and never improved one bit through the years.
The app store is especially terrible for a company with those resources. It's using the worst machine translation I ever saw (forget LLMs, this is a lot worse than 2010 google translate). It has terrible search and discoverability options for a store that has comparatively so little content.
Whenever I find something interesting in it, it's also regularly failing transactions with a major bank in my country. I'm almost listing that as a pro since it discouraged me to get stuff from a headset-locked store that will be completely abandoned very soon.
