I stopped reading after the second paragraph:
If you squint your eyes, every single headset looks the same. Big dumb block goes on head. Arms flail around. And this imagined future he speaks of has been exactly the promise of what computing could be for decades. Longer.
I personally gave up there because I’m tired of reading so much negativity and hate for the sake of hate and clicks.
I love how you manged to entirely miss the point of the paragraph you quoted, which is that wearing a headset throughout the day is not going to be comfortable, which anybody who's used a VR headset knows. The fact that it is very much like every single VR headset is precisely why it's uncomfortable to wear all day long as Apple evidently intends.
Of course, the meat of the article, which you didn't bother reading, is regarding the social implications of this sort of tech with everyone living in their own bubble. Dismissing concerns about the direction of technology and how it affect society as negativity and hate for the sake of clicks is a hell of a take though.
