And probably what most end up paying, or close to it.

What I'm still trying to understand is: what is the use case that Apple thought people would pay that much for? Are people walking around Apple HQ in these things because they are indispensable for some purpose the rest of us have yet to figure out?

It is for software developers and early adopters. It is small investment for entering into new form factor. Google Glasses had the same problem.

In a few years there may be tons of apps. And apple will drop gimmicks like external displays.

Oh wow, there'll be as many apps as we have now for Glass?
Yeah maybe, though VR app stores have been around for a decade with still no sign of that killer app.
