The Meta Quest 3 may sell just two million units in the second half of 2023, far fewer than the Meta Quest 2, leading to lay-offs in the Reality Labs division.
If your computer has USB-C 3.2 v2 then you can play for infinite time over the charge cable. I have a couple on my MOBO and as soon as I switched to those ports I never had charging issues. I think that resolves the video compression issue too. I'm not certain about the video issue but the bandwidth of 3.2 v2 is double what the display port is. I've never had any issues anyway. I'm sure there are other benefits to the pricier headsets too, like not having to deal with Facebook, and possibly better interfaces and stuff, but for the money the Quest v2 is pretty awesome.
