Probably waiting to see if enough people will tolerate a sweaty headset for long hours. Not to mention the weight.
Steve Jobs had approved several dumb Apple products, but I don't think he'd have sold Vision Pro to the general public.

For Youtube it kind of makes more sense, as they have 360 and 180 content on there and VR headsets are probably best devices to consume it on.
But even with Netflix, having watched some TV show for about hour or so was surprisingly not so bad experience at all on Meta Quest 3.
Which is why I find the choice not to release an app for the Apple VP odd: it has better hardware so the experience should also be better. Maybe it's because they expect the VP to sell a lot less than the Quest 3?
Is this a reason to call it dumb though? Note that when Jobs presented an ipod in 2001, people also reacted this way[1].

Seems like Walt Mossberg made the girl comment in this video where Jobs is talking about headphones for video. Mossberg also made fun of Dell’s large phone, saying it was like holding a waffle up to your head, and the market proved him wrong there.
These devices, in their current form, aren’t something to wear while walking around town, like someone might do with headphones.
>Steve immediately shot his idea down and told the guy that he would probably trip and fall if that were the case. Steve also suggested he should get a girlfriend so he has someone to keep him company while running.
I predict that we will see people driving with these things on.
People are already so self-absorbed that they text and watch movies on their phones while driving. A lightweight, untethered headset is an ideal conduit for distraction in the car.
