You are missing the point. The point is that to think that Apple of all companies doesn’t know this is absurd.

I think the value proposition is blindingly obvious. The big question for me is whether the device is comfortable to wear for long periods.

Value as a toy/trinket is obvious. But it's not exactly priced as such. So it will not sell. Comfort aside, I'm not even convinced why I would want to wear this for long periods of time. It needs some sort of killer app to really help me connect the dots.

We obviously just have different takes. I would not be surprised at all if you are more correct than me. But I also don't view "Apple of all companies" to be infallible, this could very well flop. They are more capable than most companies in their ability to absorb the losses for an extended period of time to see if the market ever materializes.

Edit: so I did some external reading and basically agree with this take while respecting your bullishness

> What matters is can we find the killer App – the unstoppable use-case. ..... The Success of Vision pro and Apple’s push into “Spacial computing” rests with developers coming up with amazing ideas. Otherwise, it’s bloody cool, but isn’t compelling enough.

It’s hard to accept that you can only see this as a toy or trinket. No serious observer is characterizing it that way even if they are uncertain about its future.

I’m not saying apple is infallible. I’m saying it’s silly for people who have so little experience by comparison to be confidently dismissive. It’s obvious that Apple is less fallible than random commentators. I’m not saying they can’t fail, only that if you don’t don’t see the value, that should make you curious about why you don’t see it and why Apple does.
