Because you can't build a business plan over these tools that can stop of work when you less expect. It has no guarantees, it's not the same than official service and support. These tools have no guarantees of any kind, it's not reliable for professional use, just to make some test. And I insist, this is not secret leaks, this is public...

In cube2sphere (blender) there's a increase of speed with --threads option (double, maybe it could be higher in machines with higher number of cores, mine is just 4 cores).

1 yearfdd (125): When you visit a web from another web, your browser send the original web url to the destination web. It's called HTTP Referer header: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referer So technically matterport can give the option of forbid urls from virtual tours are embedded or linked. But I think the most easy thing is include contact name (name/telephone/url) of the owner in the matterport house title.

They do all the editing which is a time saver. However, Snappr's pricing is quite expensive for the customer in my opinion so I think they will struggle to hook clients. See example below: Photos only 2,000-3,000 sq.ft Customer fee: $249 Snappr fee: $112.05 Photographer fee: $136.95 Virtual Tour...

So when we say that we shoot a virtual tour for them, they think we are creating the slideshow, and just say no.
