Blatantly false. The FOV, which is one of the most critical performance characteristics of a headset, is inferior to the Quest 3. I'd _expect_ every single thing to be better if I'm paying 7x, but it just isn't.
I'm not ignoring anything, but if my Lamborghini got out-accelerated by a Toyota I'd be upset about that, too. There's all sorts of other things to be upset about, again compared to the Quest 3. External battery pack and weight issues. No PCVR support, so you can't use the established ecosystem of games. No controllers at all, even for what could be an emerging ecosystem of Apple games. No headphone jack (I can't believe we're still doing this). The EyeSight thing doesn't work and it seems like all the marketing for it was simulated images.
The parts that are better end up not mattering. Why do I care if the resolution is better if what I want to do with it is play PCVR? Why do I care if it's great for watching movies if I'm not a loner who lives by myself? Why would I ever want to be represented by some nightmarish Persona thing?
Again, there are just way more compromises here than is justifiable for something that's literally 7x (at minimum!) the price of the competition. I want the iPod of VR/AR, this ain't it.

Yeah the fov and the weight leave something to be desired so my comment isn't 100% accurate, sue me.
But you're purposefully ignoring the boatload of other things that ARE better.
