    Why does `InputDevices.GetDevices` return void?
    That's not what I expect a function with the word "get" in the name to do.

    Why doesn't it return a List<T> instead of having to provide one as an argument posix style?

    I just want to get a single device at a known location in the list in a single-line statement without having to hold onto this list I have to make myself just to fulfill the function's requirements.

    `thisXrDevice = InputDevices.GetDevices()[0];`
