    Why bother putting in the effort of developing and testing an app for a totally new platform that Tim Apple and 3 other people will use?

      As a practical matter all they have to do is not proactively block their iPad apps from being available, which is the default.

      Literally zero effort: Their iPad app is available for the Vision Pro and works perfectly fine.
      Minor effort: Block the iPad app from being available.
      Extra effort: make a specialized visionOS app that takes advantage of additional hardware features.
