"I’m afraid your post won’t age well! This is a first gen. product. You know… like Mac (Macintosh), iPhone or Apple Watch. They evolved over time and became huge successes. They sure didn’t start that way. The same will be true for the Apple Vision Pro"

That's an assumption that the Vision Pro will evolve over time and become a huge success.  it might end up like MS' HoloLens and become a masterful flop.

Unfortunately, this article is an example of the VP problem. 

If you need miles and miles of text to evangelize the product and “explain” why all the stuff thrown at the wall is somehow collected into a killer app, then none exists. “Oh, the killer app is everything all together!” Nope. Sorry. Doesn’t work like that. 

This has been the problem even in internal testing. Apple’s own staff had concerns. Now, outside of fanboys or developer evangelists,  it’s a big question mark and rightly so. 

Downplaying customer price concerns over a non essential product is also troublesome - especially during inflation. 

The VP HAS POTENTIAL and can become something great - if Apple can figure out why they made it to begin with. 

So far, they’ve simply just built a better headset. Will it be enough to actually become a viable “platform?” We will know in two years, after the initial early adopter phase is over. 

Exactly.  this is a great clip by Tony Fadell regarding the creation of the iPhone.

And why would I want to do this?

From the perspective of a home user, I agree.  If you're a software developer or using Macs in an enterprise setting where Microsoft 365 is prevalent then this service may come in handy.

The M3 iMac is a very nice upgrade but Apples pricing for memory and SSD upgrades is ludicrous.  These upgrade prices should be sliced in half immediately and Apple would still be making huge profit margins on them.  Minimum configuration should be 16GB and 512GB SSD.  The lower options should not exist. 

  Moreover, Apple is always pounding its chest about how green they are but then they create an entry level high volume consumer product that will be out of use and in a landfill within 5 years.   If they doubled the memory and SSD size it would last many more useful years 

"Minimum configuration should be 16GB and 512GB SSD" => In this day and age, I agree.

"Our review unit had a 512GB SSD" => How much RAM did your review consist of?
