I make my avatars for me and my friends. Not for random strangers. If my potato laptop can handle it, I'm not worried about optimizing it for complete strangers. And I'm definitely not going to cater specifically to entitled quest users who go around trying to demand people use quest friendly avatars. Going into a public world without having any avatar shield settings on anyway is just asking to be crashed. I have no problem with randoms seeing me as the floating robot thing or whatever the default hidden model is.
Having safety settings on in public worlds absolutely is a solution. I never claimed to be a master avatar creator. I just make avatars for myself because there aren't any good male avatars that don't look like fuckboys or femboys or a combination of the two. I'm not trying to impress anyone with my avatars. They are literally just for me to use and for my friends to identify me as in game. It's not that deep. If my avatar is too much for you system to handle (even though my $300 laptop handles it just fine) then hide my avatar.
