Today's apple is not 2005 Apple. They have infinite cash reserves and talent pool. The market allocated them all of this capital because we trust them to make these big bets that no other hardware company can make, to move technology forward.
Vision pro is a leap forward in dispays, tracking, input gestures. It has not solved the weight/size issue, but if history is a predictor this is an area that apple will excel at with iterative improvements.
You haven’t really countered anything the OP said.
Yes, the Vision Pro is a leap forward technologically. So was the iPhone. But how many products on the way to the iPhone didn’t get released because Jobs (or someone else) realised it wasn’t a compelling offering to customers?
The Vision Pro feels like a tech demo. I can absolutely imagine Jobs being impressed by the tech and canning it nevertheless, waiting for a better application.

You might, I certainly don't. Corporations aren't your friends and aren't something to mythologize
They make money because they sell popular products and collect 30% of a lot of other companies operating on the things they sell
Learn about "open market operations" i.e. central planning, and realize the market hasn't been making the decisions for 20 years. LIRP/ZIRP tipped the scale for tech companies.
