Hard disagree on most of these points. Lower price seems obvious, but everything else on that list is optional.

I’d love to see games & motion controllers, social platforms is basically games. "All day" ergonomics are a stretch and 99% of people won’t care about a stylus.

I’d say less friction is more important: no cable, lighter headset. Maybe even glasses form factor before it can go fully mainstream.

They should’ve waited until they could release something in the form factor of the Viture XR glasses. They could’ve probably figured out how to wirelessly show a Vision OS rendered by the iPhone or MacBook to some small form factor glasses.

Instead they release a VR headset with pass through video that most people won’t really want to wear in public.

Even if it’s not "mainstream" yet I think it serves a purpose and I’m happy they’ve released it. Also: no one should wear this in public.
