I use a third-party strap for the Quest 2 and it is comfortable enough for 5-8 hours (and has a battery so it'll last that long). The stock strap is not great, though.

Yeah, the fact that aftermarket mods are basically necessary to actually fully make use of Quest 2 is what leads to me think that this is not a fully-formed product yet.

For example Quest 2 while usable while wearing glasses, is deeply unpleasant. If you're a glasses wearer a set of prescription inserts is practically required. Likewise for comfort aftermarket straps are a must.

I get why FB isn't including these things out of the box (or has first-party consideration for it) but it overall makes the whole thing feel like a deeply unfinished product.

It's a very affordable headset for casual or occasional VR users. Those who want to use it a lot can pay extra for a strap/interface. If Facebook had sold it that way, with a normal and a 'Pro' version, that would have cleared up a lot of confusion IMO.

For glasses are you using the spacer? I find it okay with the spacer but it lets too much light in. And the aftermarket interfaces don't always support glasses. It's a bit of a mess.
