Vision Pro is an XR device not purely AR.

So there are many things very important to Apple e.g. running apps, creating content, watching movies etc. that AR glasses are completely useless for.

Never really understand why people keep comparing AR to XR. Very different use cases.

Most people aren’t actually familiar with the products or technology. Most only look at a checklist on paper and don’t bother with the details beyond that.

Till these products are common place and people have tried them, it’s unfortunately always going to be the case that the distinction is not intuitive to (effectively) a layperson.
