I believe it’s meant to differentiate big ideas(hand waving) versus the difficulty in implementing the minutia of those ideas.
The big idea is important, but it’s the implementation which determines if something is successful.
The nomad and the iPod are both the same big idea - but implementation is different.

I suppose the motivation here is that he does want the metaverse to happen, but he understands that if the company flubb it then it ruins it not just for their company but in the perception of the public’s eye - history is filled with examples of excellent ideas and technology that didn’t take off because they failed to engage the public’s imagination. I guess this is his way of saying you can’t achieve this by halves.
