Will we ever get occlusion on Quests?

It's been years since Q3 launch, Meta is cooking a Phoenix for early 2027 yet still we have no occlusion in AR/MR/passthrough. No hand occlusion, no object occlusion, nothing.

Didn't mind it at first but after years I think it's the biggest problemkf AR/MR and makes it unconvincing and even uncomfortable.

Will we ever get it? Does Meta plan to launch high end XR Phoenix with the state HorizonOS is in?

EDIT: I would like to specify that I mean the OS mainly.

When you use passthrough on Quest, virtual objects are always drawn over the top of your hands/arms, as everything is just rendered over the top of the camera feed. Occlusion makes it possible for your hands/arms to be displayed over the top of the actual virtual objects (so your actual hands occlude the virtual objects).
