I'm betting that even Apple can't get this form factor to take off in mainstream use cases.

Maybe in very niche cases, but there's a lot of dead bodies on the VR/AR hardware hill even there with Hololens, MagicLeap, etc.

Then again Oculus sold like 20M units, so who knows...

Oculus sold a lot of users but most of them were used 0 or 1 times.

This product will need to be actually useful to take off, the early adopters need to rave about it to their friends. Presumably that's why Apple is targeting such a high price point at first, I'm sure they could remove half the cameras and use a worse CPU and end up with a device that sort of works, but first impressions matter.

I highly doubt many Oculus devices were sold that were used 0 times.

I used my Quest 3 like twice and forgot to sell / gift it. It's a pretty big problem, but I'm unsure the distribution.

That’s very surprising to me. The Quest 3 hasn’t even come out yet. Did you mean Quest 2?

I can no longer edit my comment, but this was unnecessarily sarcastic.

I earnestly appreciate your self-awareness and honor, thank you.

Yea Quest 2 I guess lol. You can see how much of my mind space I give to this.
