Is it just me, or is that announcement full of weirdly specific statements. Like "Magic Leap 2 will be the industry’s smallest and lightest device built for enterprise adoption", implying that smaller/lighter devices exist, just not ones specifically built for enterprise adoption.

It's not just you. They're called weasel words

"Benito Mussolini was the kindest, most wonderful and generous man among all the axis leaders."

Works wonders

Would be ethnical majority resident of Mussolini's Italia over Stalin's USSR 10/10. Man the bleakness of those options.
Aren't the the alternatives Germany or Japan? I'm not at all a WW2 expert, but I don't think that decision is quite as clearcut (at least between Germany or Italy).

Though the question was about the leaders, and I'm even less confident in my ability to imagine an answer to that question.

I humorously selected just one pairing of 'specific axis state' - 'specific notorious allied state'. It was not intended as a serious analysis of average life outcomes in said totalitarian regimes.
They should stop pre-announcing and just ship something great. Nothing good has ever come from their PR machine.
It’s a contrast against HoloLens 2.
That makes some sense. They should have just said "smaller and lighter than AR headsets produced by any company headquartered in Redmond, WA"
