> My mind initially goes to the Apple Vision Pro. [...] while they appreciate all the good things it has that are true next-gen capabilities, they give nearly equal time to the things it doesn't do well yet.

Depending on which traits of the Apple Vision Pro that these people criticize, they are actually very right in their skepticism.

For example:

- Is the Apple Vision Pro very open for installing own software/firmware? -> for this, Apple has to become an entirely different company

- Related: will the Apple Vision Pro enforce an App Store -> very likely, and this will in all likelihood not change

- Does the Apple Vision Pro have good repairability? -> I guess it won't get one in the foreseeable future.

In this sense: perhaps I am one of these critics that you have in mind; I nevertheless stand by my position: for the things that the Apple Vision Pro does in my opinion badly to disappear, Apple has to become a very different company.
