I have yet to play a single game on it or do any kind of work on it

I have already stated on multiple occasions that Vision Pro is going to be a device that redefines our relationship with visual media and content

I despise people like this. They want to look like a visionary but when they turn out to be completely full of shit they face no reputational consequences.

Om is one of the Valley's most respected journalists, and specifically pertinent to this post, is also a great photographer:

Even if I don't necessarily agree with this piece, I really like his photography. Michael Kenna and to a lesser extent New Topographics influences. It shows he put a lot of work he put into it. Lovely. Thanks for sharing.

"is" might not be the case so much any more. He left journalism over a decade ago and has been in VC since. He's also one of a certain subset of writers who find it exceptionally difficult to write anything even mildly negative about Apple.

He also wrote gushingly that the Vision Pro will revolutionize movies and we'll consume Hollywood content by sitting on the couch together, all watching our own Vision Pros. Hmm.

Being a photographer makes him an expert on the cultural impact of $3500 VR headsets he's barely touched?

It’s not a comprehensive review but an exciting feature he’s experienced that, based on his experience as a photographer, he thinks will be a huge deal.
