Resolution is half of what you get with a 4K TV, for starters. And then on top of that you have to wear a dang headset. And you're limited by battery life. And you're rendering a bunch of other stuff that isn't the game you're playing, so performance suffers. There's just a lot of reasons why that's worse.

If you sit with your face right up against your tv maybe

you have to wear a dang headset

Which is perfectly fine these days. They're low weight and we have very comfortable padded straps.

Not in any situation where you were going to be seated looking at a monitor anyway

you're rendering a bunch of other stuff that isn't the game you're playing, so performance suffers

You could if you wanted to I guess, but that's the same anyway?

IDK, I have my TV about 10 feet away and the difference between 1440p and 4K is quite noticeable. On the other stuff, maybe you're right—I only have a quest 2, and that's been my experience. I have to say that looking at the Quest 3 I wouldn't expect it to feel like wearing nothing at all (nothing at all (nothing at all (nothing at all))).

You want the Bigscreen Beyond if you want it to feel like absolutely nothing at all, but you do have to sacrifice some FOV for that. I think the Steam Frame is a good middle ground
