We're already basically at the limits of physics for making CPUs faster and heat dissipation is a huge issue even for products that you don't have pressed against your face and eyes all the time.
Humans interact chiefly via sight.
But it has still been "obvious for ages" that wearable displays are going to be some big inevitable hit? No it hasn't.
And why on earth would Apple have made this tech a priority ten years before it was viable as a consumer product?
