If Vision Pro is indeed around 450g, that isn’t too far off from AirPods Max at 385g.  I’m sure they are experimenting with different materials — possibly titanium or carbon fiber.

True. However, the mounting/wearing approach is quite different. I'd say that will require the Vision to be lighter.

Wouldn’t a top strap help?  I see one in some marketing images, but I wonder if third parties will develop their own.  I can imagine some with an exaggerated amount of padding that would ok for home, not so much for public.

It would help, but it's still unbalanced compared to AirPods Max.  The weight itself isn't so much of the problem, it's that it all concentrated on the front of the face putting pressure on the neck, and possibly the bridge of the nose too (can't say for sure, haven't tried one).  And likely to stay that way unfortunately, unless Apple wants to build more of a helmet structure so that they can put elements of the electronics at the rear of the head.  I don't think anyone wants that though, so the imperative is to make the existing design lighter through materials and refinement.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all that Sonoma is the last OS for Intel machines. Why should Apple put in the additional internal effort or restrict its development path?

Because customers who you screw over might not want to be your customers again.
