I thought they said that VR headsets did not show up in the normal point-in-time data collection and would be tracked in background if they were used anytime in the last 30 days?

Edit... So much for that. Mine shows up. Are you using Virtual Desktop? (I use AirLink, and I am not currently connected.)

VR Hardware:

Headset: Oculus Meta Quest Pro (oculus)
Controller: Oculus Meta Quest Pro (Left Controller) (oculus)
Controller: Oculus Meta Quest Pro (Right Controller) (oculus)

 

Note that I launched the survey by running: steam://takesurvey/1 I don't know for sure if that is the correct one these days.

Usually I use Virtual Desktop but I suddenly got the survey and couldn't find my cable (was recently at a LAN, usually don't use wired anymore) so I connected via AirLink. Just find it baffling it wouldn't detect my headset despite refreshing the survey while in VR.

It makes me question what they're actually doing to detect a VR headset since this clearly isn't working right.

Yea, I don't know what it is doing. They said does not look for a currently connected headset, it looks at the SteamVR logs for the last 30 days. No idea how is could not find one unless you have some process getting rid of logs.

'1' seems to be for Dota 2 survey, '4' is a SteamVR survey but it breaks with a pop-up saying 'Sending gathered data...' that doesn't ever seem to finish, if I hit Cancel on that extra pop-up and then try to Next on the actual diagnostics window it won't continue. But that diagnostics window for steam://takesurvey/4 actually does show my Quest 2 hardware listed.
