Shit, my monitor costs 2/3 the price of the Vision Pro

Two professional 27" 4k dell monitors cost ~$800 combined. You overpaid like a mf if you spend $2000 on a monitor.

and an ideal piece of AR hardware would be immeasurably better

Let me know when someone announces one.

Meetings in virtual space would negate how much meetings suck remotely

Lol, citation needed.

Having unlimited screen real estate would make a huge difference in my line of work.

Agreed, as long as using those screens didn't require wearing a pair of ski goggles that will die after 2 hours.

Also, being able to use any area in my home or out of it with as much screen real estate as I want would be huge.

An understandable point... I would argue that it's a much better practice for your mental health to have a dedicated space that you work to create a clear mental separation between home and work but it may work if that space is virtual.

and I’m 100% okay with it being the thing that introduces the benefit of AR to those without imagination.

Those benefits don't take imagination they just take having seen a sci Fi movie in the past 20 years.
