Lets just pretend they are being honest. Why would you want to strap bulky goggles on your head to watch a YouTube video instead of just opening it on a laptop? I can't imagine a consumer test group watching this and being like "yeah, I didn't know I needed this, but man do I need this!" who the hell vets this garbage?

I do this with my xreal glasses sometimes when washing dishes or whatever. Connected to phone in my pocket with a desktop mode, set a black wallpaper, and drag the video into a corner.

It's nice for situations like that, where you're doing something with your hands and can't reasonably place a screen in a way where you wouldn't have to constantly strain your neck to look at it.
