Sure, if my company provides the headset they would make sure it runs any needed software, but there's no way in hell they'll be buying $1.3K headsets for anyone any time soon. That's the case for the vast majority of companies.
These things would have to REALLY take off and I mean 20x to 50x as popular as they are now to where a majority of people expect to be able to use them and they have an obvious-to-everyone work advantage, before companies like mine (100K employees) are spending $100M extra on them to provide them to the workforce.
I could talk to my manager every day for a year with solid business cases and PowerPoints showing why I should be able to install software, but if Meta software is needed it will make zero difference. Corporate Cybersecurity trumps all, and installing unauthorized software, even if I technically know how to circumvent all the technical controls, would be identified immediately and the perpetrator (me) terminated immediately.
I think the only hope is to see how this runs in pure passive / pass-through mode (where it presents as just another dumb monitor) vs. needing software present.
