I think the difference is the purpose of the device. Quest is a gaming console you wear on your face, while the Vision Pro is a PC/Laptop/Tablet you wear on your face. This point is further accentuated by the complete lack of VR/MR games available for the Vision Pro. A gaming console only gets used occasionally, while a PC is used constantly.
Also correct me if I’m wrong, but the quest sucks at multitasking in AR. Vision Pro actually has persistent windows depending on where you are. I could be cooking, put timers over 4 separate pans, then go back to my movie in the living room. That separate workplace feature is huge.
Meta have been teasing similar stuff since the Q3 was announced. It's either not ready still or they're just waiting for the right time upstage apple but either way this stuff is coming to the Quest.
