You just described two scenarios that are already very common in the present day, if you swap the headset for a smartphone in them.

Not saying it is a good thing at all, it isn’t. But given how many people currently don’t mind doing it with their phones (where their actions are on a clear display), I think significantly more people would be into those use cases with AR headsets (and in the future, glasses). It is literally the same thing as with phones, but more concealed/private. So it would capture both the existing group doing it with phones and plenty of new people.

Note: I am aware that Vision Pro isn’t intended to be worn outside or for prolonged periods of time due to battery and just general headset thing, so no, I am not trying to claim it is going to replace smartphones for people. I was talking more about where this is headed, which will only be possible once the technology gets us to the point of a “regular looking glasses” type of a form factor (or something similarly unobstructive).
