I mean this thing barely has Mac support, why would it have PC support? It’s basically its own computer you put on your head.

The anti-consumer apple BS aside. The lack of PC support or support for any real GPU that has a chance at running Games in full resolution, makes this dean on arrival for most people using VR.

Apple is pushing productivity as the main application for Vision Pro, to the point they don’t even call it VR but spatial computing instead. I don’t think gaming is really for a focus for them at the moment, instead they want to try and tap into other markets who aren’t using VR currently.

I was under the impression these were meant to be AR glasses, not VR glasses? Either way, I’m not really sure who their target demographic is supposed to be at that price point.

I wouldn’t consider it AR because it’s still a fully virtual environment the user is interacting with, granted it’s built convincingly from the camera feeds. If the lens were a clear passthrough into the real world+layering virtual elements over it then I think it falls under AR.
The most appropriate term I can think of is Mixed Reality for Apple’s application

Wow, your comment is the first time it's been made clear to me that this thing isn't actually see-through and that's just a screen on the outside. I thought it was essentially a sleeker looking Hololense. I've had the wrong impression of this thing the entire time, and now I'm much less impressed by it.

It can be both, the lens aren’t transparent at all and the user can control how much of the real world they are seeing at any time. Applications can be anything from a floating window in the real world or a full VR immersion.
