HoloLens 1 had nearly 40% higher PPD (47) than Apple Vision Pro (34).

So you're saying HoloLens had a tiny field-of-view because of its limited resolution?
Sure, but that PPD number is what prevents me from using these headsets as a primary display replacement. I personally don't need a virtual display that fills 100 degrees of my vision and would happily sacrifice FOV for something usable.

This is from someone who has spent hundreds of hours coding in VR, which currently requires big font sizes and screens that take up massive FOV, which I find very uncomfortable for extended periods.
