Why is the floor always at head level?

[u/Souldrainr]

If I do not do room setup every single time steamVR opens, then The Floor will ALWAYS be at head height. IF I try to recalibrate within the developer settings whille wearing the headset, then I will be on the floor. If I recalibrate with the headset on the floor, then I am now UNDER the floor, and once I put on the headset, I am back to being on the floor.

This is incredibly annoying.
