'Can’t deal with these headaches after 10 minutes of use though.'

VR/AR shows just how flimsy DEI at large companies is. When it's a tool for gaining customers or retaining employees, they go all-in. Conversely, when you have an opportunity to make gobs of money with a computing paradigm that is unsuitable for masses of disabled people - including many who wouldn't think of themselves as disabled because they merely have astigmatism - it goes out of the window. Of the 4 people I've let use my non-Apple headset, only 1 could stand it for more than 10 minutes: another young man in tech.

We don't need VR/AR for that, just look at airtags

I don't follow, can you not use the AVP with contacts? (I'm assuming that they don't have enough space for glasses. The Quest Pro needed some sort of spacer for glasses.)

No, they don't solve the problem
