You can't consume media e.g watch sports, movies etc or do any real work with those glasses which is a huge part of why Apple built Vision Pro in the first place.

And the battery technology doesn't exist for them to last anything longer than a few minutes in such a form factor unless you have it tethered.

I agree, but how will this device ever get beyond home entertainment or light office work if it's always going to be a big screen strapped to your face, not to mention the social aspect. I dread to live in a world where people are walking around self absorbed prodding and poking at things no one else can see. It just seems so selfish and antisocial.

Phones?

We dread to live in a world of phone-zombies as well, yes.

And that's why none of this will go anywhere of consequences for a good long while. Regular people won't wear a dorkbox on their faces and the glasses form factor cannot today do what's needed.
