They should have open sourced the platform. This would generate more hardware makers to jump in and improve hardware part, bring to market cheaper as well as more high end devices and so on. It would also accelerate building apps for the platform. A big issue in tech is that everyone wants to copy Apple, keep things secret and build walled garden. What worked for Apple worked for a reason (and bit of a luck) but may not work for others. The big issue is that everyone wants to be next Steve Jobs. Another overlooked thing is their future EM based wrist sensor which can sense hand movement accurately even if humans don't see it moving. This can be a killer device on its own. The realistic avatar that one can generate by scanning themselves by phone is also very doable with today's tech (SIGGRAPH is full of these papers now). If they can make that happen as fluidly as enabling FaceID, that would be killer app in itself. That can start whole industry of try-before-you buy clothing stores in VR world on your avatar, for example.
