I heartily disagree. This is a 1.0 product, and though it’s deeply flawed in so many ways, it also nailed interactions that other companies have struggled with. They’re going to iterate and pivot on this platform for the next few years (and sell cheaper models) and they will find the sweet spot. This platform is here to stay.

So they release incomplete product.

Other comnies: we are making game for vr and will release it any second now. Aaaany second now. Done. By the way, we just releasing state-of-art vr set Valve Index with base stations and controllers that greatly improves over other vr headsets that costs like average headset.

Define “complete”.

A 1.0 product is by definition the worst product the company will make of that type. That’s no different from any other product by any other company.

There is no complete product. There are only products you can buy, and those you can’t.

How will they fix it? They need future tech. What Apple did right now is combine all the best current tech. It's gonna be a few years until our tech is actually good enough for these headsets to be seamless.

You’re conflating the perfect with the good. The question is not whether Vision Pro is perfect, it’s whether it’s good enough for today. I happen to think that it is for the goals the company has set (well under 1M units sold). But it will of course improve rapidly every year.

This is not new. This is every new product Apple has introduced.
