Still can't believe Tech companies don't realise: If you want the widest adoption, make something as open source, customisable, editable, codable, and anonymous as you can.

If you don't want something to be wide spread, demand everyone's data, make it a black box you can't edit, customise, or be creative on, and you have to link to all your other profiles.

Meta would have been best off had logins been entirely optional, and they're still trying to life that bad reputation three generations later.

That said the quest is a great product, and I use mine every day to stay fit.

I'm not even sure just how closed off a system it even is. Most of the things I run on it were installed through ADB from GitHub and not any official sources. I have access to the root system files. What's stopping someone who knows what they're doing from making a custom OS for 'em so you don't need to associate with Meta once you have the hardware in your hands?
