PCVR is a hassle. Meta VR is simple convenient, and instant by comparison. I was able to use it everyday to workout.
The problem with VR in general is that only children, Gen Alpha, are into it as a demographic. Meta failed to take this into account to reposition Meta VR as either their NES or Roblox into their marketing. They were marketing something only children appreciated to adults who couldn’t see the potential. All adults see is a giant bucket that they don’t want to put on their face.
PCVR is awesome with Steam, even using meta headsets once it's all setup its very straightforward.
PCVR is great for flexibility and freedom, but it really sucks for convenience. There’s too much hassle and too much to turn on and setup even if you’re using Quest headset. I don’t think it will change until Valve Frame, but you can also argue that it’s not really PCVR
