Meta has been buying up game developers so they can have a bunch of exclusives. Yes, I'm assuming that the games by the developers would have been made regardless on other platforms. That might be a big assumption given the market share of the quest.

Yes, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, etc anticompetitive practices are bad too. They do it to try to lock out competitors, and in doing so they decrease access to the content.

With Meta this hits already established PCVR gaming users hard as they will essentially no longer get new PCVR games if Meta keeps buying up the VR game developers. It's not like they wouldn't be able to support steamvr through openxr/openvr.
