Whatever use cases they try to push for social settings, I think Google Glass was still the better solution. Nobody uses their Vision Pro outside, and it’s way too expensive as just another VR headset to use at home.

I’d like a real life adblocker, which unfortunately runs against everyone’s business model.
The other reason why especially facebook is pushing VR so hard is that they need their own platform to continue to have a business. Right now, their personalized, ad-based business model is severely threatened, because both Android and iOS have shut down 3rd party tracking and continue to do so. So facebook is kind of fucked and needs a hardware platform they control. That’s why they spend so much money on it. I’m pretty sure it’s not because Zuck is a moron living in an 80’s sci-fi world, although that’s of course the more fun story to tell.
I’m not sure about apple’s motivation here, to be honest. Just creating something to kick facebook out would probably not be enough of a motivation to spend so much money and developing their own thing. Maybe to keep the hype and stock price up? They don’t have a lot of other interesting things to show at the moment. No “AI” crap like the others have and flashy innovation basically halted with smartphones/laptops etc.
IRL ad blocker would be something I’d wear a Google Glass-type device for. It does feel a little like an episode of black mirror though, filtering things from life.
