“Delayed” is a pretty silly word to use for something that’s never been announced or even acknowledged to exist.
>More than 2,000 Apple employees are now working on its VR and AR hardware as part of a unit called the Technology Development Group, or TDG. The group is run by Mike Rockwell, an ex-Dolby Laboratories Inc. executive, and Dan Riccio, Apple’s former head of hardware engineering who stepped down from that larger role in early 2021.
That's a very interesting bit of news

I’m not sure what non gaming use cases they’re imagining here.
Maybe something along the lines of what Vuzix is doing? It will probably have an app store, so I think they’ll start off with games and navigation, maybe some education and let the market fill in other applications.
Typically Apple releases are nothing mode than improvements on competing products. So we should first see a sort of usable AR device from LG or something first. Then Apple will release same but polished, say it's innovative and people will buy that instead.
Your take does not align with the majority of Apple’s history.
