I might if it worked with existing VR games, etc. because the Oculus software on Windows is a shambles. Lost count of the number of times it just plain won't start because it thinks I'm N Windows updates behind (even though I'm not.) Also had to completely wipe and reinstall a few times. Then when it does agree that I have a headset and it recognises that I'm wearing it, sometimes it'll just ... not show anything for a few minutes. Or a game will crash (not always Oculus' fault) and the software will insist I can't start anything else because the other game is still running...
macOS might have its glitches but software just works 99.9% of the time.
I didn't buy a macbook because it had Apple logo on it, I bought it because of the M1 chip that was 1 generation ahead of anybody else. Similarly, I bought an iPhone mini because its form factor worked very well for me.
If Apple introduced a VR headset I can already tell you that I won't buy it. If their car is inferior to others on the market then I won't buy it. I think most Apple consumer falls in the same camp as me.
