That just isn’t true - I never use a cable any more with my Quest 2 and I’ve seen many posts from other users who also don’t. You can use Air Link, or even better is Virtual Desktop (and you can play any VR games with it - cable free) - and there is no substitution for having free head movement without having to concern yourself with a cable.
I use Quest 2 and Index. Whilst I prefer the graphics in Index (for scenery only - cockpits are usually better in Quest 2) I use the Quest 2 more often entirely to free myself of the “shackles”.
edit: And since I got myself a cheap 3rd party “halo” strap, it’s also the most comfortable headset I’ve had out of Rift CV1, Quest, Rift S and Index
