Is just too pricey and a bit cumbersome for masses, the tech is good and we could all use it even just for some experiences that can only be done in VR

Their decision to use glass for the housing is stupifying. It's on your head and swinging around, it should be absolutely as light as possible.
Agreed. I liked the demo at Apple Store except that it was freaking heavy. That was by far, the biggest deal breaker for me.

If they make it weigh half as much, I would buy one.

Too pricey in a time where many fear a recession. So it's an even worse launch to market than usual.
People have been fearing a recession for the last 16 years.
Sure, but it didn't stop them during the "great resignation" from moving around. Actions speak louder than words.

Statistically speaking, people are a lot more hesitant to switch jobs right now. That definitely points to legitimate fears (regardless of the objective economic outlook).

Forget recession fears. Most people don’t have $3500 lying around flat out.
