everything that cannot spit a 360 image is a PITA to say the less.
stitching is part of the past, even for multiple camera devices.
Ricoh was one to offer a simple device giving quality 360 pictures and video.
if you have been through stitching multiple camera videos and then used a one shot camera, you would understand what i mean.

Why do you think this is? "It's just the nature of these screens currently." does not explain why. The S8 has a higher resolution than the Rift so in a GearVR or even Google Cardboard it might not be surprising that it looks better.

"Being stereo image is important to me, so 2d cams aren't in the running. One of my pet peeves about the 360 fad.
VR is 3D. imo"
You are right but currently, there is only very expensives cameras able to do 360 3D movies, the Insta360 pro 8k being the cheapest.
And stereoscopic in 360 movies is still not perfect.

That look interesting @Roaster, I hadn't heard of that one. 3 of those would give a 12K 360 video. Only problem is the separate cameras, so there'd be a little extra hassle getting files together & stitched. The price is good for the specs though.
I'm just going to correct myself on the resolution of those 3 LucidCams. Each of the 3 cameras gives 4K and 180 deg view, so 3 cameras are going to have a 30% overlap before stitching. The resulting 360 vid would be in the region of 8K, which is equivalent to the Insta360 Pro. Still less than half the price though.
