I think the problem is that Apple tries to take its “Pro” label on products seriously while other companies don’t. Macbook Pro/Mac Pro computers are “professional” devices separate from the “consumer” line Macbook/iMac/Mac Mini products, for example. They are meant for what they say they are. Vision Pro is presumably the same.
But “Pro” as a label has become synonymous with “Premium” in the industry and so they’re just the better devices for people with more money.

To be fair Apple also does this with the iPhone. The Pro is just the Premium one really, nothing really professional about it.
like cars with sport in the name. no one’s taking an SUV to a track day … wait do people do that? Society was a bad idea.
