Yeah it sucks, I wished the new rift would have used the old way of tracking, inside out tracking has its benefits mainly in convenience but it comes with massive drawbacks.

I doubt they thought about that, HTC might have thought people would use their Vive trackers for motion tracking, but it was mainly designed for custom controllers.

Oculus would have had to release their own tracker for custom controllers and then Oculus users could have done that as well.
They did have a mode for mixed reality tracking where you could designate an extra touch controller as a tracker, but noone used it for anything.

I assume they discontinued the CV1 because they wanted to sell what seemed a better solution to them, the Quest for mass adoption and the Rift S for ease of use.

Back when I had a Rift, it would constantly forget its roomscale setup, so at one point I stopped bothering with guardian boundaries, inside out tracking helps with that, partly.
