Yeah, almost every review is along the lines of "this is a technical marvel" to "and now it's sitting on the shelf awaiting a purpose".

Through VR, Apple was "at least seemingly" going to move from games being the primary use to office work, but every review I've seen has been lackluster for that. You can do cool things but it's missing a lot of features like the screen sharing and stuff.

It seems to fall into the "solution looking for a problem" category.

They’re actually terrific for porn in theory because they are the only (I think?) VR glasses that can record VR video.

Unfortunately (for everyone I guess?) that’s not what Apple has in mind.
