Their hardware options were quite competitive and were very accessible price-wise for people who wanted to experience VR. Nobody wanted to use their software, though. Grab a USB-C cable (or use Airlink), connect it to a PC, and play SteamVR games like VRchat, Pavlov VR, Into the Radius, and Half Life Alyx for a good time. Or play VRChat with worse quality textures and heavy model restrictions natively on Meta Hardware.

Nobody wanted to use Meta software, but the budget conscious really liked meta hardware (basically owning the sub-400 USD portion of the market).

Of course the privacy-conscious saw the writing on the wall and didn't opt in at all to their ecosystem.
