Netflix, video calls and looking at old pictures is the impression I got.

Except ironically Netflix has announced they will not make an app for the Vision Pro

I doubt they'd need to. No vendor will put much effort in until it enables a value-add for tens of millions (at a minimum). As long as the device can virtualize a standard 2D monitor in 3D space, you can watch anything that can be displayed on a 2D monitor — same as how you could sit in a cinema audience using google cardboard for the last decade.

I don't wanna put a 3.5k $ headset on to look at photos. I can do that perfectly on my phone or laptop.

You got that impression? I got the impression that the best selling point of it was all about the excel sheets and do more efficiently your work with it (should I remark this is sarcasm?).
