> Apple does have the advantage of being able to project their 2D apps if they want, right?

Developers have to manually check a box to enable running the iPad version of their app on visionOS so it’s entirely out of Apple’s hands. Not sure why they took this approach

It’s the opposite of your claim. It’s opt out, not opt in.

And it makes sense for some devs to not provide their app on the platform if they use unsupported APIs or if their experience is otherwise degraded for some unknowable reason. Though the side effect is Netflix and YouTube can just withhold their apps that presumably otherwise work.

Oh thank you for the info, I’m not sure where I got my misinfo from! Presumably a podcast from the early days of the release.

I think some folks confused it with the checkbox to build against the visionOS SDK.

Likely some sort of legal or PR reason.
