Seen so many videos and writeups saying things along the lines of ‘Apple didn't show us a killer app for Vision Pro’, but they did — they spent an entire week showing developers just how easy it is to transition from iOS to visionOS, how it uses all the same tools and SDKs we use today, Xcode, TestFlight, SwiftUI, UIKit, etc. Non-developers and people outside the Apple scene may not realize just how profound that is, and how transformative it might be to the platform

I see so much enthusiasm for Apples Vision Pro lately - why is this?

It's all just Apple Apple Apple.
Developing for this means doom - there are better ways of wasting time.
In the end it's the opposite of open, nothing here is a standard, it's just Apple.
Nothing of this is for the sake of humankind, nothing of this brings the technological world forward - it's just there for making Apple look good. And people applauding this are just useful idiots for Apple.
It's beyond me why anyone may think, this is a good thing.
