Everyone can see the value of a Holodeck, or a magical lightweight high-resolution display that barely weighs on your head, doesn't cause eye-strain and doesn't mess up your hair.

But that hasn't yet been technically achieved.

What the comments are saying is: "I can't see how current state-of-the-art wearable displays can offer any value, given their current limitations"

And I agree. With none of the headsets I've tried (Rift, Rift-S, Valve Index, HoloLens, HoloLens 2), I could imagine working 8 hours per day. They're heavy, scratchy and are annoying to put-on & take off. The Nreal Airs, mentioned by a sibling comment, have a promising form-factor, but only feature a 1080p display.

At our current technological advancement, I doubt that Apple will overcome these limitations next week.
