On Apple pricing:
The original 2016 Apple Watch cost $549-$1099, and Wall Street pundits declared it a failure because it "only" displaced Rolex as the number one luxury watch brand by value of sales.
Today they start at $250, comparable to their earbuds as a popular phone peripheral. They do a hell of a lot more useful things, and in 2022 Apple sold over 50 million.
Sure, Vision Pro is expensive right now, but if it survives then by 2030, at worst, it'll be priced like an iPhone Pro Max.
