I’d guess it’s mostly just a low volume set of use cases. So few people are on iVision (my new name for this) that it doesn’t make sense to devote development time to it.

Same problem the windows phones had

The vast majority of “apps supported on Vision” will act as a floating screen in front of you. So essentially the same as a typical iPad app. Doubt it takes any development time at all

Have you ever worked with Apple SDKs? They’re kinda a mess. They’d still need a dedicated team to build, support and manage the app, and they clearly don’t feel it’s worth it.

It’s still 4-5 full time developers at least. Probably a full few teams also including marketing, legal and a few other departments.

The same could be said of iPhone apps on iPad but Apple still forces you to make specific dev for the iPad.

This is how Windows Mixed Reality operated (Back when UWP was still a thing) and it actually worked great.

All you have to do is not block the iPad app though.
