Sit as in 'sit out'

Pardon my ignorance…

Do… Microsoft's HoloLens… Meta's Quest… Leaf… take so detailed attention to users' eyes?

Apple uses ZEISS's high-quality opticals… They do not use cheap plastics… even for Readers.

Attention tu detail!

They don't need to. Because they don't use the eyes for functional features (like tracking your eyes to select items on the screen). In my 'old fashioned' headset I can actually wear my glasses underneath the VR mask, which is not possible with a Vision Pro etc. 
It's less attention to detail and more a result of engineering decisions, that Apple needs to be that detailed.

So far the Vision Pro is more hype than substance. It's only just coming out in a very limited release (US only).
Why would anyone bother to develop for that heavy piece of headgear? It barely holds enough charge for a movie and reading the reviews is too heavy to wear for an extended time as well.
Add to that the fact, that Netflix holds no 3D content, only an extremely limited amount of 4K content (even if you pay the high premium subscription at Netflix and the content would be available in 4K from the producers it is not so with Netflix).
Add to that that Netflix doesn't seem to be profitable and is in fact stuck in a growing mountain of debt.

The result is Netflix does the low cost approach we all see. Masses of self produced often low quality content, streamed in a minimum viable quality (they do compress the hell out of their streams leading to low quality). So no money left, for anything that isn't strictly necessary.

Let's face it, even if each and every Vision Pro buyer in the next 24 months would pay for a Ultra-Premium Vision Pro subscription it would barely be interesting for Netflix to invest. Since they don't have any relevant content even less.

AppleTV+ being Apple owned ... of course it produces stuff (AppleTV+ alone doesn't necessarily need to produce a net profit)
Disney+ actually has lot's of content (even 3D and 4K+) and has been tight with Apple for a long time. Makes sense as well. 

The rest is wait and see, since they won't be able to shift market share in any meaningful way, by offering Vision Pro.

So as a stock holder who doesn't have to (and certainly don't want to) live in the US there seems to be only one solution: Trump for president. (Tim Cook could at least handle that orange idiot better)

So with the 3d scan of your ears for the AirPods and know the 3d scan of the face for the Vision Pro (FaceID is only stored locally!) ... Apple know gains the looks of all the users buying into the ecosystem. 

2024 is much closer to 1984 now.
