Take a look at Meta revenue numbers, they can afford billions in R&D investment just fine. I’m not sure what market share you’re talking about but there’s plenty of money for them to afford the VR research they do.
Apple has the pockets to invest billions in R&D for a device 10 years down the road. Meta does not, its market share is much more volatile and it drops support for its headsets after only a few years (My Quest 1 is a fucking brick). Comparing the two is brain dead.

Meta is valued at 1.12 Trillion, which, sure, is only ~1/2 of Apples 2.6 Trillion… but Meta could invest in VR for the next 20 years without feeling the pain.
I do love my Q2 and Q3, and hope they keep pushing VR forward, which is the main (maybe only) reason i was happy to see apple join the competition.
