No one wants the Vision Pro. All the progress of mankind has culminated to this one point in time where we can create entirely new realities before our eyes in stunning fidelity. And what do we use this technology for? Going to work. Talking to people about work. Sitting in the dark watching pictures and videos by yourself.

a lot of people want vision pro as a monitor free solution. Or even a secondary monitor

Any technology can be used for work as well as other stuff. AVR is basically a extension of our monitors on our faces. You can do any real world physical work with that thing on. It is an excellent choice for remote control and monitoring of systems though. I see it will be primarily used as a consumption device for movies and games. VR gets tiring after a while, and the effects on eyesight degradation are not fully known.

Creativity takes work. As someone who makes things I want the vision pro.

I _really_ want the Vision Pro. It has an app store. People will make apps for it. Just because Apple's promo had people using the headset for work doesn't mean it is at all limited to that.

This is not much more different than the first iPhone focusing on what people were already doing daily with their phones and computers: taking phone calls, SMS, e-mail, browsing the web. But now there are hundreds of different other uses, many of which are considered more important than the original ones they focused on. Getting people to buy a device to do something entirely new (physical games, metaverse, ...) is much harder than getting people to buy a device that does something they're already doing, but better. That's just a fact of life: people like sitting by themselves in the dark watching movies and TV. They will in the future too. If the Apple Vision Pro is as good or better than a huge TV and surround sound stereo, then for people with smaller apartments it could actually be a good deal. Many people could get by with just an iPhone and the Apple Vision Pro as their only devices (The Vision Pro probably needs a couple of iterations to be good and comfortable enough, but it seems pretty close already) I'm sure there will be plenty of games and social apps on the app store in the near future. I'm sure it'll get support for third party controllers for such games. But Apple is not focusing on that, just as controller support in iOS and Apple TV isn't a huge focus point for them in the marketing.
