VR content can be less nauseating than content on a traditional monitor. For example, I've been playing a VR mini golf game. The world is perfectly steady in VR (as long as you use teleport for movement). You look around the scene by moving your head, just like you'd look around a scene in real life. But on a flat screen, you'd need to rotate the view by moving your mouse, which will likely be more nauseating.

Nope - that's not how that works
Brain has no issue there as the plane of the screen is flat and your normal physical environment cues are in place as normal.
Translation: everything is great, my worry is just my worry.
Sure, lets see. There are already articles supporting my worry so maybe you need to stop defending Apple/AR/VR and maybe consider those too.
Regardless, time will tell.

Uh, lots of people get nauseous from flat screen games. I personally don't now, except in more extreme situations (in a car racing game I play, one of the cars has a very tight turning radius, so I get some mild nausea).
In the late 90's when I first played a game on my new 3DFX graphics accelerator, I got extremely nauseous, and even after I stopped playing the nausea stayed with me for like an hour.
I'm not dismissing the possibility that some people will experience eyestrain, but you said:
I see no evidence that most people can't use AR/VR for a long time specifically due to eyestrain. And most of the time when people say they can't use it for very long, the mention face/head comfort or nausea.
Feeling nauseous has been a problem with Virtual Reality for decades, but the funny thing is: It has been solved by the army years ago.
Pilotes in training noticed getting really sick in VR. Until they realised: humans stay balanced using our nose. Your nose is always in field of view, even if you're not directly looking at it. Your brain filters it out of course, but when you can't see your nose (because of VR glasses) you get disoriented.
So, the solution is: bring in a virtual nose. Display it on the screen at all times. That works. Your brain is used to that and will filter it out anyway.
I find it strange that Apple didn't implement that. Maybe someone tell them?

I wonder how Mac and iPhone adoption would've fared if it caused 70% of people nausea the first time they used it"VR motion sickness is a common problem many people who use immersive technologies face. It can affect up to 70 per cent of first-time users within just 15 minutes of their experience."
Just part of the game I am afraid.
The latest Meta Quest 3 update could end VR motion sickness as we know it
Upper body tracking could be the key we've been looking for.www.androidcentral.com
Well, I think this is great. I’m not in a rush to get one right now, but y’know what? Eventually SOMEBODY will make a great one. I look forward to it!
Can I pick from different noses? And not just by color…I want an alien nose!
Yes! Just not yet.
The itching is the one that would get me to wait. Itching LATER is always better than itching now.
We all know aliens, like Voldemort, don't have noses, so that would not work. Any other nose is fine by me, and I'm apparently in charge of noses. Though, with taking my job as nose manager serious, I strongly recommend using the shape of your own nose, as your brain is already used to that.
Screen time linked to risk of myopia in young people
A new study has revealed a link between screen time and higher risk and severity of myopia, or short-sightedness, in children and young adults.

The focus distance is greater than most non-TV displays that people use. If anything, people will replace some of their use of those other displays with AR/VR headsets, so they'd actually be focusing at a further distance on average.
Maybe because you don't go looking for them?

Yes. Watch her. She's enthusiastic sure but she does give honest opinions.
I've seen plenty of her
If you think that's a good source of objective information about Apple, I'll have some of what you're having.
She's not the only source of information but she does give real world usage. Her experience with the M2 MacBook Air for example matched exactly my experience with it while other channels like Maxxtech made it sound like the worst machine out there.
And what she mentioned was also found by Lisa at MobileTechReview who probably has the most accurate review of the device I've seen.
That's just one device, there's plenty more.
