This product will fail among Apple's traditional customer segment of high-income Westerners.

High-income Westerners do not like to engage in activities that make them appear like mindless consumer zombies. In Denmark the highest income households have small cheap TVs they can hide away while low income households have big 4K TVs as the main attraction in their living room. The reason is that the former don't want to appear like passive mindless consumer zombies who watch TV.

It is a very superficial opinion but wearing a VR/AR headset is literally the most 1984 consumer zombie thing you could possibly do.
