Why are a handful of VR users so adamant?

A window in general is not ideal since it’s a reflective surface. It will reflect the backlights of the headset which could indeed explain the drift. Everything between 2-3 m should be fine. Remember the closer you move the smaller the play area becomes. You definitely should always try to darken your room and windows for better tracking with PSVR.

The main reason for my headset drifting was a bright lamp in the corner of my room btw. Put it somewhere else and everything was fine.

I have curtains on the windows so the reflective part shouldn't be an issue.  That said, I no longer have the blackout curtains in those windows so I get glare on the TV during the daytime.  Probably wouldn't be that big a deal anyway, with a 2 year old running around the house I doubt I would play during the daytime much anyway.... too expensive a set-up for the kid(s) to go tripping on the cords... I won't even let the 9 and 10 year old touch my Switch after stickifying 2 of my DS4 controllers.

Yeah, definitely...don’t risk that. 

Tracking generally is fine with PSVR. It has gotten better as I hear and it also seems to depend on the titles, how good the software uses or translates the information. There have been several games already where tracking issues have been patched over time.
