What does that look like to you? I'm not sure what it is you want Apple to do.
I don't give a fuck about what Apple does. Their actions and decisions are inconsequential to me personally.
But, entertaining the questions, they could've reach out to the developers of the most popular VR apps and games to entice them to port as soon as possible. The only similar thing I've heard was a small indie that made like a YouTube frontend, or something (IDK). And that was not on a Dev kit but on a emulator. Which has gigantic limitations. They could also allow devs broader access to the system, like allowing sideloading, kernel level modules, open source some part of the OS to allow people to understand how it works, tinker with and innovate over the possibilities that the hardware brings.
All those are things that Apple will never do though. And as a result, their hardware platform won't be the bed of innovation they want it to be. Right now the vision pro has no killer app or must have feature. You can't build the future by forbidding everyone from building unless they pay you out of the nose just to even see the building site.
