You touched on this at the end of #5 and it can't be stressed enough: the Apple developer frameworks are a huge advantage. SwiftUI (iOS 13+), ARKit (iOS 11+), RealityKit(iOS 13+) have been available to developers for years (iOS 11 launched in 2017). There have been few real use cases for ARKit and RealityKit so far on iPhone/iPad, but Apple's continued investment over the years, the developer familiarity and feedback, and the use of these frameworks on hundreds of millions devices may give Apple a considerable leg up.
Loved this perspective. Thank you!
