These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
In all seriousness, I am not actually doing that. I already have my Frame, and while I have noticed some little downsides so far (just like with any piece of technology), they are mostly software issues that should be able to be addressed with an update. I think most users will be happy with the product.
Honestly the actual hardware is very competent for the price, and a lot of the technologies Valve is showing off (foveated streaming, Windows PC games on ARM Linux VR, etc.) are awesome!
It's more how people are comparing the price to the heavily subsidised Meta doodad that is less open, has similar or worse specs (especially when it comes to streaming it seems), and is owned by Meta (selling your eyeballs to advertisers is not something I would like to do personally)
