I know it's usually not accurate to call something a hit-piece, but this is a hit piece, and it's frankly dishonest.
Given that the author is a visiting fellow at Yale Law School's Information Society Project, it's hard to accept that they reasonably don't know this.
Case in point:
"Within seconds the Vision Pro had photographed more of my apartment and body than my laptop saw over the decade I've had it."
A statement that is simply untrue by any reasonable interpretation.

It's accurate to say a camera is recording any time it's on, but this was meant to give the impression that a "record" is being made of his surroundings, and as I understand it, this is only true with deliberate user action. I'm sure he knows what he's doing here. Also, what's more likely: that the founder of an anti-surveillance action group happened to be recorded by some mysterious unknown person in the Apple Store, or that the guy is a liar? I know which side of that bet I'd take.
