It's too expensive. The Meta Quest 3S is $300.

Can you use any device these days without creating an online account?

My monitor does not require online account yet - I don’t see why my VR classes should either.

Quest headsets aren't monitors and don't get their input from a computer. They are standalone devices with a consumer OS and app store, much like your PC or smartphone.

I wonder how it is then mentioned in this context. It is not comparable at all.

My PC does not require online account yet - I don't see why my VR glasses should either.
