Why? I don't see what blocks people from using it with a PC.

Made me wonder how long Apple would support their Vision Pro devices as both devices are similarly locked down by their manufacturers. The Quest 1 was released on 2019, so it got about 5 years of support. Apple might support Vision Pro for longer (maybe 7 years?), but at $3499 (vs Quest 1's $399), it'll going to be hurt for the owners when it's no longer supported.

Apple does not stop you from installing apps when they EOL their hardware though.

same thing happened to my Samsung mixed reality headset. I've just said fuck vr entirely if companies are going to do this. reminds me of how Apple used to be where people would patch new fully working iOS version features onto old phones to bypass artificial obsolescence.
