What does this even do better that has any "Apple" finishing touches? There's no games, there's some content but lots missing, what it is supposed to be able to do, it does worse than the competition and it's more than 6x the Quest's price

Apple was never about the games or content or even hard numbers. What is Apple like is: 1. incredible engineering :All very high quality fabrics, machining and optics.

2: The detail oriented software. Look how polished everything looks in Vision OS. It’s just nice to be ‘in’ there.

3: The integration of the software and hardware. Extremely nice handtracking, amazing see-through functionalities, working with a good ecosystem (keyboard, MacBook, trackpads,…)

Those experiences are what makes Apple unique. Not ‘better’ per se. That depends on what you need.
