When sequel? It has been almost....
.....4 years. Thats how long it took to develop Asgard Wrath sequel, a 120 hour long game. Surely Alyx 2 is ready and why there was no season pass.

Valve usually releases new games when they have a good reason to do so:
Half-Life 1 - their first proper game, was the most innovative game of its time
Half-Life 2 - used realistic physics and had great graphics for its time
Half-Life: Alyx - used Source 2 to showcase its potential, and also to encourage people to purchase their VR tech, the Valve Index

The next mainline Half-Life title possibly has sky-high expectations when it comes to story, characters, locations, everything Valve would do for this game would be calculated and meticulous. I wouldn't expect anything before 2025, unless it's a different HL project that is in development, such as 'Citadel'.

No. What I'm saying is, they will likely release the sequel when they manage to make a product that builds on top of the previous game, and is innovative and interesting enough in some way, from both a developer and player perspective. They throw out so many potential projects, because it's only the few projects that get enough interest internally that could make the final cut.

I wouldn't outright say they would release it with Index 2, maybe it would come out when they release a new generation of the Steam Deck with better hardware, who knows.

Your post actually seems more like an argument we should have had another Half-Life VR game by now as a followup to Half-Life: Alyx. Because if they released Half-Life 2 in 2005, and then the two following Half-Life 2 episodes by 2007... well that's three total Half-Life games released in a span of 2 years (2005 to 2007).

So if they were releasing 3 Half-Life games of similar size every 2 years, we should have had Half-Life: Alyx, Half-Life: Alyx episode 1, and Half-Life: Alyx episode 2 by now.

They will probably release a sequel when they release their next VR-device which of course wont be backwards compatible. Do not expect to be able tk use your old steam-VR headset for their next innovativa game Lol.

What an asinine thing to say.

Valve went out of their way to make the Index standards compatible and open. It's Meta that tries hard to create their walled garden.

This is either a comment from pure ignorance, entitlement or lazy trolling.
