I'd hope for Meta to support these new Jetpack APIs for the Quest / horizonOS, as their SDK is currently basically limited to Unity / Unreal / Native, with no primitives for building regular apps.

Two competing XR platforms build on Android may not be too bad if apps just run on both.

There are some warts on horizonOS for true XR experiences like the guardian system effectively locking you into a predefined/scanned room or the camera feeds not being accessible (would be useful for scanning QR codes or copying IRL text), hopefully some competitive pressure can move Meta here.

Right now there are quite a few Quest 2 & 3 devices on the market and not a single new Samsung XR glass. Any developer building a new XR app would want their app to run on Quest
