It makes it harder to run big servers talking to android apps. Instead of them saying “I’m done, goodbye” they will just ghost the server. Then the server has to keep a connection open and waiting around to hear from you again even though you are done.

This isn’t a problem if a few people do it, but if everyone does it then servers could end up spending more time waiting on abandoned connections than doing real work.

I feel like you’re not grasping just how much money they have to make to justify a trillion dollar valuation. They could make a billion dollars every single year for 2 human lifetimes and still not live up to the hype.

Before my buddy got laid off there they were making $200k/yr plus stock to work remote about 10hrs/week. I kinda understand why they were willing to compromise their morals.

I guess it’s not technically a standard but Steam VR runs on every client OS and streams to any VR headset money can buy over USB or network.

Because you aren’t using Voyager.

Language prescriptivist are bad and wrong. Words mean what people think they mean.

Or disabling paste in password and bank account fields. Which is a literal crime in the US but never enforced.
