In addition to everything said, I'm pretty sure it was Oculus and John Carmack who did most of the work on getting VR to where it is.

Half-Life: Alyx is still the best FPS VR game I've played. Great story, environment, production values, variety, everything.
Yeah, I've played it using my Oculus Quest 1, too. It is the most game-like VR game, as opposed to most VR games that are more mini-games. But I've definitely spent more time in those mini-games than Alyx.
Totally untrue that they will replace faulty hardware. Was one of the first people to buy the Index. After a year the headset just stopped displaying any video.
Tried everything to fix. Even reached out asking for hardware documentation so I could fix it myself. They don't provide the documentation and they refused to fix or replace the headset.
Basically stole $1500 from me.
Everyone is excited to buy the new VR headset they are making but I'm steering clear.
