Yep, plus Zuck himself has publicly criticized Apple and said they aren't gonna go down that route. Look at all of the mainstream consoles, PS5, Nintendo Switch, etc: none of them allow you to sideload anything. And Meta even went a step further than that with the semi-unlocked bootloader. That is unprecedented, most Android phones don't even have that.

People tend to conflate FAANGs with each other. One bad Apple ruins the bunch.

It also gives you a nice warning saying your Facebook account might get banned for using a pirate copy of Beat Saber.

Why join the navy when you can be a pirate?

Maybe this is a way to rid the world of Facebook? Android virus that puts pirated software on Quest devices...

> sideload apps for free on the Quest

only if you value your time at $0. the amount of time to keep sidequest working and fight official updates breaking it is not trivial.

You don't need sidequest to sideload to a meta headset.

You just need the bog standard android adb shell program.

>adb install-multiple one.apk two.apk three.apk

Done.
