Not sure how it's any different than buying a computer or a car or a home or a pet dog/cat.
The purchase price isn't the total cost of ownership. You still need to pay for the energy to run it (electricity, gasoline, food). There is cost with maintenance and upkeep. Insurance. Extended warranty.
The difference between "purchase price" vs "cost of ownership" has been mainstream for some time now.
When I bought my new Alienware laptop this year, I spent an additional $500 on extended warranty and insurance to cover accidents, theft, damage, etc.
This is all fairly standard stuff imo.
I agree that consumers are a product, but that applies to all purchases on the market; not just the Quest. The best example is... a bank account. If someone has a bank account, then that person is a product for that bank (e.g. they use your money to make money).
Employees are a product too for the company that employs them.

You paid all that for a warranty omg your like me in that respect. I was told that's a bad idea. The company wins most of the time so my last two tvs were replaced only months before the 4 year warranties i bought were up. I guess I made a dumb decision. I like the peace of mind.

In one of the Quest 2 review videos I watched, it was said that VR Cover was being brought on as an official Oculus partner for their facial interface replacements. I hope they get these to market quickly—I hate the foam face rings, and I use the pu leather VR Cover on both my Rift and my Quest. I already went looking for the Quest 2 VR Cover, and put myself on the mailing list to get notified when it’s available.
