I bought the 256gb version with the intent on using it as a new and novel medium to rebuild my app building skills from conception to end after half a decade in the enterprise space. I have to say it met my expectations and for whatever gaps in UX and the featureset exist, they seem solvable and that is very exciting. Needless to say, I’m keeping mine. Influencers be damned.

That sounds like a very convenient opinion for someone to have.

Sure, in online spaces and from people who haven't bought them. Most people after making an expensive purchase will jump through hoops to justify it to themselves even if deep down they know it wasn't a great idea. It's called choice-supportive bias (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choice-supportive_bias) and people tend to fall into that trap because otherwise they end up struggling with cognitive dissonance and "buyer's remorse".
I'm sure that some of the people returning the headset accepted that they overpaid for a product that underdelivered and some were those who only bought the device to see what the hype was about or for social media points and planned to return it. Others are keeping it because they're just fine with what it is or because they're still holding out hope it'll prove more useful in the future and that's fine too, but I don't think anyone is returning the product because they're just not intelligent enough to "get it"
