Vision Pro is way way better than the alternatives.

And the original iPhone was almost unusably slow and really didn’t do much.

Waiting half a minute for NYT to load and then seeing constant checkerboards got old very quickly.

Vision Pro isn't better at playing any games nor much different for watching movies.

Right now the Apple TV feels like a closer match than the iPhone to be honest. We had he same vibe of putting some games on it but no native controller, and a "revolutionary" remote control with voice commands and a touchpad.

AVP has a chance to be good at office tasks and casual tv watching for singles, but that's assuming other players don't get there faster than it takes Apple to iterate. If for instance the next xreal glass sets the bar too high the whole office/virtual monitor angle will be an uphill battle.
