I think the chain of logic is that due to anaemic reception and the Quest3 being unexpectedly good, Apple has pulled forward the cheaper Vision Pro. This has lead to Meta launching head to head with that product, and hence needing to either produce something with comparable specs or do it for a much cheaper price than they thought previously. That not being feasible, they are falling back to their mass market strategy - fully own the low to middle end. But none of this is about either company stepping back from the overall vision. What they are doing is jostling for market strategy, fit and timing - and adjusting to each other's moves as they go.
