Maybe I am in the minority, but I have no problem using my laptop on the couch for a few hours. It's quite comfortable.

it's not about if you can but if you should
you should at least take a brake where you use your legs every hour or more often because if not it will noticeable increase the chance of blot clots in your veins and in turn stuff like heart attacks (long term wrong behavior leading to increased risk over the long term, no relevant per-case risk)
similar you should change the focus distance of you eyes often enough as it does reduce eye strain (similar light conditioning in your room) and the easiest way to do it is to look not at your screen e.g. when standing up and moving around (and if well done maybe the glasses from Apple can simulated depth in a way which does lead to changes in eye focus)
Having a walking band below your desk and looking around your room outside of the window or similar will also fix this issues quite efficiently, at the cost of being less lazy (and issues for people with certain kind of back issues).
It's very comfortable until you've used a VR display (like an NReal Air). You can relax all of the muscles in your body and still get work done.
Yes, mostly. But sometimes not. Sometimes I wish I could have those 32 inches on the vesa while still sitting on the sofa.
And for me spending more than 2 hours per day with laptop on the sofa is a recipe for neck pain and migraines. The angle is just not right.
If the headset is more ergonomic for this situation, it will find its target audience for sure. The battery is designed for 2 hours sessions, but the device can run indefinitely while on charger
Yeah I’m approaching 40, and if I spend more than 30 minutes or so with a laptop on the couch I get crippling shoulder pain at night while I’m in bed. So this sounds like a lovely way to avoid that problem but - even with a headset strapped to your face, what do you think you’ll be using as input devices? I’ll still want a trackpad and keyboard in my hands. (Waving your arms around all day isn’t fun). And if I have to balance a keyboard on my lap anyway, aside from a bigger virtual screen, what’s the point?

I'm with you on this. I see these as a wonderful option for being productive just about anywhere, if the experience is actually what was demoed.
