The vast majority of "apps supported on Vision" will act as a floating screen in front of you. So essentially the same as a typical iPad app. Doubt it takes any development time at all
Have you ever worked with Apple SDKs? They’re kinda a mess. They’d still need a dedicated team to build, support and manage the app, and they clearly don’t feel it’s worth it.
It’s still 4-5 full time developers at least. Probably a full few teams also including marketing, legal and a few other departments.
this is pure speculation, I am not a developer
The same could be said of iPhone apps on iPad but Apple still forces you to make specific dev for the iPad.
This is how Windows Mixed Reality operated (Back when UWP was still a thing) and it actually worked great.
