The Apple Vision Pro costs the same as Microsoft’s Hololens – there’s a reason why

It has dominated the consumer market with its best-in-class products and may be looking to leverage its hardware IP (e.g. the M2) to penetrate the lucrative B2B market, the only one that can afford to purchase these $3,500 headsets en masse (coincidentally, that’s what Microsoft is charging for its ໂຮໂລເລນ 2).
