You are underselling the original iPhone, it entered a very different cell phone market, where the same quality tech existed but was hard to find, and the UX on all smartphones was, to be generous, poor, especially for the mass market. Even beloved Blackberry was in need of improvements that RIM didn't even have on their roadmap until the iPhone showed up. Despite all its initial shortcomings, the iPhone still raised the bar for the entire market, set a new standard that every other manufacturer/developer would be chasing for years. The Vision Pro is being watched by the mass market and it will be competing against Meta for better or worse. Apple has put in zero effort into removing that appearance. They are not selling a devkit, they are advertising a mass market device at an absurdly high price.
