This is the most depressing and hilarious bit to me. Linden Labs was trying to make the exact same fucking thing in good ol' 2005, wanting to make virtual meeting spaces in 3D...
And while that bit never took on, it's been a functional service for over 20 years!!
Like, what fucking leg problem??? xD Aren't legs just part of normal fucking character rigging??? Isn't this just basic fucking game design that somehow they don't understand???
Legs are a part of normal rigging, but they are probably reffering to the fact that Meta didn't have legs on thier avatars for a while. Not sure why they mention it for second life since animations in that are a little different than IK legs that I usually see in VR games.
In meta horizons vr you didn't have legs. Everyone was a bad cartoony looking floating torso with a head. One of their recent big updates was they were "working on adding legs". Maybe they have them now but I remeber seeing people asking why it took like 10 years.

All it ever needs to be is a cool spot for people to hang out in ways that users want.
It does help that models in SL can look awesome though
