Troubleshooting something is such a niche use case and it would be hardly any better than a well written manual, but would require more faffing around with a headset.

I would rather just have an extra screen to view any extra sports stats, sport doesnt exactly require 100% of your attention to warrant the need to look at a player to see their stats vs just clicking them on a tablet.

Apples headset changes nothing, people are not going to walk around with it strapped to their face, it's a novelty product (even though AR has existed already for years now).

AR has uses in special cases, such as engineering, military and medical uses, but to a regular consumer it is just extremely niche, a lot more so than VR.

I really want AR so that I can walk in downtown Chicago and have historic photos overlayed over the existing building. I'd be excited to see the past in a way that screens can't really show me.

Apple's product will be more of a dev kit and demo than anything else. The stuff regular people want to use will need to be lighter and preferably offload heavy processing to a processor located elsewhere nearby.
