They didn’t say everything should be 2D. You seem to be dealing in the extremes of the gamut.
The UI paradigm here is progressive. UIs that make sense in 2D can be 2D and slowly introduce 3D elements into the mix.
That provides an easy on road for app developers. They can take their iPad app and augment it.
Not everything is better with extra dimensions. A lot of data and interaction is better off reduced down in fact.
But even if theoretically everything was 2D (it’s not, but sake of argument), you would still benefit from being able to make content break out of your physical bounds. In a cramped space? You can still have giant monitors.
