The original Apple Macintosh only had 128k of RAM, and was thus pretty much useless for all but the simplest of applications. It also cost as much as two Vision Pros, accounting for inflation.
Yet it absolutely changed the world.
The Quest is a great system for gaming and toy applications. But it's a glorified game console, much like the Mac's contemporaries upon release like the Commodore 64; it didn't kickstart a revolution in how we compute. The Vision Pro did, we just haven't felt the full effects yet.
