the people in my life who a) have bought them and b) have kept them tend to fit the profile of technology-interested hobbyist types or software developers who want to experiment with it. most if not all of them don't take it seriously as a device they're using for anything real; they're looking at it as something to build for, or experiment with, or just out of a desire to see the platform grow. none of them have told me that they use it regularly right now or have come across a compelling use case. many of them were already deeply invested in VR/AR to begin with and this is just another toy on their shelf. i don't know of anyone who's bought it as a device in its own right where they understand the purpose of it and have plans to seriously use it for something.
