People often ask what did Steve really do. Was he really that important to Apple, but Steve understood people and he was pragmatic. He understood if a real person would use something or not.
A $3,000 AR headset that looks like ski googles is on the surface not a very practical device.

Apple already has many examples of this, including Apple TV and iPod Hi-Fi (the latter of which I had totally forgotten about until now). I don't think the first generation of HomePods sold many units either. Even if the product is a flop the first time around, these experiments still often have value in that you can collect feedback from your customers.
