But oh well, whatevs. I guess it's an attempt to globally optimize things. Which is the number one complaint, I imagine. So of course it has to be on by default because no one reads the patch notes and will know to turn it on otherwise.
Everyone sensible I've talked to has agreed that their impact on performance (yes even with colliders) is minimal, if not non-existent. Yes, even a pug full of people in perf-intensive avatars, they are not the leading cause of any fps drops. It's even more absurd to suggest cloth physics as a viable alternative for anything that isn't...cloth? Yet I witness people on a regular basis that swear by these 'facts' instead of finding out for themselves. I understand that people with toaster hardware probably can't handle physics calculations as well as someone with an actual VR-ready desktop, but that's their problem and I'm not going to limit my avatar's physics to cater to these individuals when they can just hide my avatar or leave.
By the way, the cherry on top is the fact that turning on the 'limiter' actually drops FPS for a lot of people than having it turned off. Funny, that.
