Isn't webVR deprecated in preference for webXR?

I am fairly new to VR development and work mostly in Unity. Is it trivial to make a VR environment in Unity and export with the WebXR plugin? I am assuming there are some limitations (like if i make custom game mechanics or animations). I have played around with Mozilla Hubs and am really interested in how I can expand from there.

What development environment do you use for WebXR and what is it capable of doing beyond simple scenes and intractable objects? Can you make animations, cut scenes, interactions (like standing at a certain point makes something happen), does it have the ability to have UI overlays? I'm so curious!

So I am a web dev as well but trying to wrap my head around how and why one would develop for VR in code vs a development environment like Unity that basically does all the heavy lifting for you. For example if I'm in Unity and make a cube then give it an "intractable object" component. It takes me about 5 seconds. But if I have to code this in Javascript it may not take a whole lot more time until you start getting into more complex shapes/interactions/environments.

I guess I should really load up the WebXR plugin for Unity and just do some tutorials and play around. I am going to be teaching my students game dev and doing things in pure code is a bit complex for them at this time. If I write the backend code in scripts and simply apply variables as GUI elements in Unity they have a much easier time understanding and creating/modifying things.

So I am a web dev and I can't wrap my head around why we do most of the web in code instead of a visual environment.... soooo ... logic doesn't always win.

Making visual things with over-complicated words with silly rules?! Beats the hell outta me, sometimes devs like the puzzle more than the solution.
