If you were gunshy about trying out VR. You'd never even worn a pair before and you wanted to give it a shot. Would you be more willing to spend $300 on a Quest or would you rather spend $3500 on an Apple Vision Pro? Now let's pretend we're in an alternate timeline and the $300 Quest never existed. The only option available to you was the $3500 option. Are you still interested in trying out VR?

MSRP might not be the only factor, but it's pretty damn important. Not a lot of people can "risk" $85,000.

Apples and oranges. You can lease a vehicle. You cannot lease a VR headset.

Sure you can! You shouldn't, but you can!

You shouldn't ever lease a vehicle either. Unless you like setting piles of your money on fire.
