Good thoughts in general, I’m about where you are—VR is overall headed in a direction where I’m really excited to use it.
Disagree on the device looking cool. It looks like a snorkeling mask, which is still better than the blindfolded look of the Meta Quest.
What it might achieve is being acceptablein public. Google Glass failed because people perceived wearers as potential perverts, photographing people surreptitiously. If Apple can make people perceive the AVP as people who are “having more fun than you are on the plane”—i.e. get people intrigued about other people’s use of the technology rather than intimidated by it—that will be a win for the company (and its customers).
