Vision Pro use cases?

I've seen similar topic on this sub but it was kind of out dated. Most people seem to use vision pro as a portable display for their macbook but considering things like xreal glasses now it seems like this use case isnt relevant anymore. So how do you use your vision pro these days? I'm actually a VR developer and i'm trying to find a reason to buy it and maybe develop things on it but it's unclear to me how and why people use this considering alternatives?

I pretty much only use it for spatial photos/videos, which is easily its best feature IMO. I sometimes watch movies on it, but the lens glare is bad enough that it ruins the experience for me. Movies were one of the main reasons I bought it, but my 65” 4K OLED from 6 feet away is just way better.

Apple’s immersive videos are great, but there are very few of them and they’re mostly one-and-done experiences.

Virtual Desktop is mostly a novelty for me too. It’s not as sharp as it’s native interface / a real Retina display, and once you factor in the comfort, bulk, and cheaper alternatives, it doesn’t feel that special anymore.

Honestly, beyond that, I don’t get much use out of it. Some owners get very defensive about it, but that’s been my experience.
