Magic leap had like a 30 degree FOV and no software. It was a dev kit, literally. The consumer version was never released IIRC
Also, I don’t think you argued against the main thesis which is something like “startup land is too good at the first 80% of a product, but not the latter 20%”
That rings true for me. Our industry is not known for robustness and quality. There is robust and high quality software out there, but most of it is not.

They would have liked to deliver the system they had promised but investors were right to pressure them to deliver something -- even a broadly available dev kit is an important milestone for a technology like that.
