When the Nintendo DS released, all my friends wanted me to try theirs. Same goes for the PSP, and the iPod, later the iPod Touch. Collective, ad-hoc enthusiasm is to be expected for major innovations and paradigm shifts in technology. This is why I was surprised, and somewhat let down, when the Apple Watch was released and none of my friends offered to let me see it, and poke around with it. Of course, times have changed, and devices are more personal than ever, but this still occurs; when the Oculus Rift was new, all my friends wanted me to try their new "VR". When 3D printers were first kicking off, I was receiving emails and messages from friends, some long estranged, asking me to come see it, and try making some small prints. When the Vision Pro released, nothing. Radio silence. Even after some time passed, I haven't had any offers to try it. I'm not sure anyone I know even cared to buy one. I'm convinced Apple has fallen behind the curve and no longer innovates in any substantial ways. They refine existing innovations now; they haven't actually surprised me since M1. And even that, was simply a refinement to an existing innovation. ARM desktops were pioneered by Raspberry Pi, not Apple.
