Why Profiles Aren't Users - A Plead For Resolution!
The conclusion/solution offered in the troubleshooting thread "Using one account for multiple devices" demonstrates a problematic hierarchy structure of Owner/Admin in relation to Profile/User within the Meta Quest system:
Meta Profiles (rather than "Accounts" should mirror "Users" as utilized and structured in Microsoft's operating systems. Cloud backup and storage in typical computing scenarios use user profiles in support of applications which offer multi-seat licensing. This is critical to users who wish to use some number of headsets on the same local area network for shared experiences such as:
Enjoying movies together with family and friends,
Collaborative content creation,
Roundtable business meetings,
Corporate customer local presentations,
Games such as "The Two Of Us" or "Portal 2"
etcetera...
If Meta Quest Profiles rather than Meta Accounts were used then each application developer would have the choice of offering multi-seat licensing. Account owners acting then as an Admin, could also more easily administrate updates, account control, permissions, and so forth - as per established standardized computing.
Forcing Meta Account partitioning on these scenarios is also disadvantageous and more costly for Meta formally TheFacebook, Inc., considering both account maintenance and data center server load. Additionally, for those concerned with green ecology, using profile rather than account partitioning would reduce electrical consumption for every participating end user as well as within the data center. The (costly) power savings are assumed to be enormous without specific calculation on privately available logging data.
Hopefully in the future I will be able to set up a local classroom, administer business meetings, or even enjoy VR 3D films with family & friends simply and easily where the Quest login process offers local participants a list of available user (profiles) without requiring them to create a dedicated Meta Account or purchase software they will have no need of after the session or meeting. Put on the headset, pick or create a "profile", participate in the multi-seat licensed experience, and Bob's your uncle! This slick unencumbered use also serves as a great point of promotion as friends, customers, and associates enjoy and benefit from a Meta driven experience. (and no, I'm not an AI - even though I may I sound like it occasionally )
For your consideration..,
