Super interesting hearing Zuck's thoughts about the "open/closed" systems through the years, and how "value" (aka. money/customers) flows to the closed systems.  It's easy to crap on Apple for having a closed system, but when Apple offers enough value/quality products, then any cons of being in a walled garden don't matter.   Zuck has convinced himself that the walled garden strategy is what made Apple successful, and not their good products.

It's quite clear that Zuck wants to make *his* VR headset the market leader before Apple or anyone else, so he can make a closed system in *his* metaverse.  Look at how much they are gouging developers who make content for their metaverse app Horizon Worlds.   It's way way worse than Apple's 30% App Store fee.
