I think that for a small startup that is shipping its first product, it may make a lot of sense: for a company of that size, it is better to handle a smaller group of high-paying customers than doing the opposite. Also the price is getting closer to that plan, with the device now expected to retail for $1300.

In a future update, Meta will use the tracking cameras to track the full body of the user and provide a decent estimation of the pose of the torso, the elbows, and the arms, and a simulated pose for the legs. There is a lot of hype around this technology, and many research groups are studying its applications, also for XR.

We were using something called Visa, which was a very low-level library language, very different from what Unity is right now. This is 1999.
