Maybe, but that never saved the Lisa, the Newton or the Butterfly keyboard. Sometimes, Apple takes a big risk that's far too early, expensive or simply doesn't pay off.
I don't think it's a particularly hot take to say that VR/AR content creation has been stagnant for a decade. Valve couldn't save it by moving mountains, Meta barely made it mass-marketable with a barebones MVP, and Apple is... gentrifying the higher-end. It's not so much an insult towards Apple as it is to the field and it's market fit. Nobody has had an "iPhone moment" yet, not even Apple.
