According to various reports, Apple views this as the successor to the smart phone. Unlike everyone else, they are focusing more on everything other than games.

This also explains why Meta is still committed to plow billions into XR to secure their own viable hardware platform.

Ya, you nailed it. If AR is possible to build someone will build it and if they do it will (in due time) completely supersede the iPhone and destroy Apple's revenue. They literally cannot afford _not_ to compete in this market. Facebook's aggressive move here makes sense considering all of the scar tissue they have from not controlling their own destiny on mobile.
