Anyone know why Rift S has Lenovo design and not Quest/Rift design?

My
perplexity is the fact that rift s is "newer" in the production than
quest but they use the lenovo/halo system (that on samsung odyssey+ was
causing me a big red mark on the front)

So why this choice?

halo
system is less comfortable, and more heavy. Another thing not so
important is that with halo system it's not possible for example watch a
video or a movie in the bed with the head on the pillow, or watch/play
with the head resting on the chair due to the plastic of the halo system

Maybe it was a fast track to get something out on the market!

To bad they didn’t use the Quest design / just ripping out the GPU/CPU/Battery and adding an external connector/cable & logic!(Simplified explanation)

Reusing the base HMD parts and screens/cameras in the Quest to lower the costs! Or maybe that 5’th camera is needed.....

Wanted to pay for an premium (pro) upgrade for the Rift, but ”Rift S” really looks kind a plastic!

Will go for Quest unless there will be a premium feeling with the Rift S, then maybe booth of them will!
