I've found the Meta 2 AR headset to be quite dark (and it's still not quite as dark as what was shown in the pictures in the article) and it becomes very difficult to look at the graphics and understand them as part of the real scene behind them. With the real surroundings so darkened out, it creates a completely different contextual space. You definitely get to a point that you forget to pay attention to the real space and only pay attention to the visualization on its own. So that's what "more VR than AR" means. Continuity of context between real and virtual is the defining attribute of AR. Without it, you just don't have AR.
