Synth Riders is quite nice as well, and so is Pistol Whip. Both are "on rails" rather than standing on a platform. I'm not sure if that's what makes Beat Saber slightly more appealing though.
That's one of the main problems with Google controlling not only the top browser but also the rendering engine behind most of the competition. They don't have to care about standards at that point. When they do, it's mostly to put a veneer of openness over their operations.
It copies a lot of Arc, but the core tab organisation features from Arc are significantly lacking. Last I checked (a few weeks ago), Zen didn't even have a keybind for pinning a tab. It fully keeps the Firefox bookmarks and prioritises those all over the UI. The Arc tab system is meant to entirely replace all of that. It just makes Zen feel very shallow in comparison. It's just firefox with some goofy Arc features mashed into the front without care.
Arc (macOS) is ridiculously good though. It's become difficult/impossible for me to use another browser happily the past few years. I wish they were focused on it instead of their mediocre AI browser project. They decided to claim Arc windows was out of beta when it's still vastly worse than the mac version in just about every sense. But at least they got the core tab management features locked down (from what I've heard, I don't have a windows machine to try it on.)
What are you going to do now that Arc development has stopped and The Browser Company is pivoting? (I'm also a big fan of Arc, especially the Air Traffic Control feature to keep certain sites organized into Spaces.)
> Too little inequality means there is nothing to strive for, the ambitious won’t have much reward to work for.
That kind of "ambition" is greed. There are other forms of currency that are arguably much more desired to a healthy society and don't go away in a more equal society: reputation, respect, intellectual authority, etc.

Those doesn't scale though, most jobs doesn't award you any of those. Money is the only real reward low status jobs has gotten ever, take that away and why would anyone wanna work low status jobs?
No, but if we build a society where inequality ceases to be an issue, jobs will stop rewarding greed and start rewarding whatever other currencies attract the best talent.
Similarly, entrepreneurship will be based on those currencies.
Money is a human construct. Inequality is a human construct. Neither are a requirement for the existence of humanity or for humans to thrive.

Looking back through history, there's always jerks who ruin this, being equal isn't enough: either they want to have more money than, and power over, everyone else; or they explicitly want others to suffer, usually people who look different.
Dealing with those personalities has cost us trillions of dollars throughout human history, but it keeps happening, because you can't evolve better brains in the few thousand years humans have been civilized.
It's very interesting to see how people's imaginations are so captured by propaganda that they don't allow themselves to even consider that societies may be based on things other than money, profit and greed.
Homebrew doesn't suddenly add that capability. It just facilitates it. If nothing else, it's easier to track what's been installed via brew than whatever the user may have curlbashed or untargzed to their home.
What is missing with current offerings? Between Matter and Zigbee devices, having Home Assistant as broker and coordinator, all of that is feasible today with nothing calling home if you're willing to put in some work.
