I can see marketing claims and fanboy stuff. Some of things that are not mentioned.
Vision Pro has a 2.5 hour battery.
With a cell/mobile when you stop using it it goes in the pocket or purse.
Claims that it will get smaller, but the tech is now effectively 10 years old and it is still almost the same size.
I wear glasses all the time and I really do not like it. Even more so as I get older.
With glasses rain, snow, cold are certainly a problem.
You want to stop in the park for a pick up game (basket ball, frisbee, whatever) are you going to leave a $3000 small transportable piece of equipment on the edge of the field?
I have damaged/broken glasses in a variety of ways. I have seen other people manage to destroy a cell/mobile on average of once a year. So replacing that is going to be expensive.
Making real entertainment content in 3D is more expensive than other content. But the general consumer does not have an uptick in disposal income to match the production cost. So either they do not buy it at all or they buy fewer titles. I believe the 'not buying it at all' is what most of the market sees now.
For business users waving ones hands in the air all day (versus a keyboard) just does not work. They have already tried solutions like that and no one uses it.

Ford F150 pickups have a "feature" that, if you're backing up and there's something behind you, it will stop the truck.
Sounds reasonable, doesn't it?
However, the other day, I had road salt build up on the backup camera and it wouldn't let me back up because it couldn't "see".
No matter how smart AI becomes, it will never be as adaptable situationally as the human brain.

Check your truck's settings. My Dodge Durango has something similar but I can explicitly turn off the "backup protection" feature; the off only lasts until the engine is turned off. Since I use it to haul a horse trailer, I need to be able to turn that "help" off when I'm backing up to hook up the trailer

Those are all great points!
Thanks for sharing.
You've given me hope that these will not take off.

Very expensive, heavy and doesn't do anything that I need. I like seeing the real world.

I'm tempted to buy one, just so that I can be clapped by the Apple Store Geniuses as I leave the store with a much lighter wallet.

On paper AMD Ryzen 5900x has twice horsepower than Intel i5-12400, though in single thread applications, 12400 is lightly better. So we checked this fact by a very simple winform application ( Net 8 - VS 2022 ver. 17.8.4 ):
List<ListViewItem> lv = new List<ListViewItem>();
listView1.Items.Clear();
for (int i = 0; i < numericUpDown1.Value; i++)
{
ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem(i.ToString("D8"));
TestClass t = new TestClass(i);
item.Tag = t;
item.SubItems.Add(t.ID.ToString("D8"));
item.SubItems.Add(t.ID2.ToString("D8"));
item.SubItems.Add(t.ID3.ToString("D8"));
item.SubItems.Add(t.ID4.ToString("D8"));
lv.Add(item);
}
listView1.BeginUpdate();
listView1.Items.AddRange(lv.ToArray());
listView1.EndUpdate();
With
numericUpDown1.Value= 1_000_000
10 times benchmark, Intel cpu completed the task on average in 18 seconds.
AMD cpu never completed the task below 60 seconds.
Intel cpu setup:
Win11 in VirtualBox with 6 cores
16 GB RAM
ADATA NVME 2.0 disk
AMD cpu setup:
bare metal Win11
48 GB RAM
SAMSUNG NVME 2.0 disk.
What's wrong with AMD cpu? Who should we blame on issue: MS or AMD?
Any idea?
P.S.: I'm a hardcore fan of AMD.

It could be a number of things, but the first thing I'd look at is the generated native code and see how it compares for the different architectures. That could make a mountain of difference.
The other things are more difficult to track down, especially with managed code - is your code remaining in the CPU's cache line as its executing?
There's also the other question, and that is Winforms, which relies heavily on the windows subsystem and unmanaged code.
If I were you, I'd fashion a barebones .NET 6+ console application that benches N iterations, 5 times overall where N is some arbitrarily large number based roughly on how long it takes to perform each iteration. Then run that on both and check your results.

There is something more to the issue that is not apparent from the information provided. As Honey pointed out, there are many other factors to consider.
As for the code itself, it baffles me why you want to load 1M rows into a ListView control like that. You're much better off finding ways to reduce the number of rows loaded. However, if you need to do this, there are better ways like virtualization. Read this (with code sample): ListView.VirtualMode Property (System.Windows.Forms) | Microsoft Learn[^].
If you make this change, the app will run much more efficiently on both machines.
