I wouldn't really call them 'early adopters.'  They bought with the intention to return within the window.
True early adopters are the people who take V1 products and endlessly use them and accepts the premium if using the product improves V2 efficiency, reduces cost and increases market penetration.
A lot of the people returning the headset are those who just wanted immediate 'street cred' or had a fledgling tech blog.

Well, I was one of the first in line, and I've now been using it for about a week. This thing is glimpse of the future. There is a lot about it that is simply amazing, but it is definitely a "1.0" product, with its share of shortcomings and lots of room for improvement. I'm old enough to remember when the original Mac was introduced, and of course the iPhone. In both cases, there were many naysayers, but each of these ultimately changed the world. I'm pretty sure that the importance of this is on the same scale.
Right out of the gate, there are already some questionable assumptions and misinformation. Let me address a couple of these...
That's a real concern, and, in my opinion, an issue I'd take very seriously with Meta/Facebook, Google, or Amazon. Their business models are all about monetizing the data they collect about you and your behavior. Although Apple builds their products with an eye toward locking you into their ecosystem, they take privacy very seriously and their success is based largely on maintain users' trust in those privacy safeguards. Although they get a lot of criticism for their "walled garden" approach, it largely prevents rogue developers from abusing users' privacy. I do some development work, and I can tell you first hand that the privacy-based limitations can be frustrating, and ultimately prevent some interesting possible applications. Apple severely restricts the information that applications can use. For example, a Vision Pro application can't tell what you're looking at until you actually interact with it, and can't directly access the cameras at all.
Like all of the other Apple products, there is plenty of porn available. Generally, they won't allow porn apps on the App Store, but there are no restrictions on the content you can access through a web browser. PornHub, OnlyFans, Rentmen, you name it.

I gave him a try. It was strictly therapeutic and conscientiously draped. As far as his technique goes, it was strong and deep and pretty good. Perhaps he's improved since @7829V's experience. I'd give it an A-.
That said, I think maybe his rates have gone up, too. For a strictly therapeutic massage without even a hint of sensuality, I think his rate is pretty high.

I'm concerned about the crossing the line and getting too close to a review, but the massage was nothing to write home about, and "extras" weren't enough to make up for that. I was out of there within 45 minutes.

I needed a good therapeutic massage, so I gave him a try. His massage was completely legit, and started out draped although it didn't end that way. It was one of the best legit massages that I've ever experienced, and although he didn't avoid massaging any "sensitive" areas, there was no sexual energy whatsoever, and no HE. I will definitely be back when I want a legit massage.

I know of brothels in...

Amsterdam: https://www.boysclub21.nl/home-eng.html
London: http://villagiani.uk, discussed in this thread

Unfortunately, this is usually the case. Even when both people take the situation in stride, it is, in my experience, nearly impossible to get back "in the moment." I think the best thing to do is to behave with dignity, minimize the inevitable embarrassment and realize that it happens to just about everyone from time to time, regardless of preparation.
Conversely, the opposite can occur... sometimes you end up bottoming unexpectedly in spite of your better judgment, and everything is fine.

I gave him a try...
Flaky/difficult to schedule: The first time I scheduled with him, he completely flaked and told me the next day that he "lost his phone." When I gave him another chance, months later, he texted me 15 minutes before my arrival and rescheduled for an hour later.
His massage was unremarkable, I'd probably give it a C+. The sensual/erotic elements were mostly a tease. He was friendly enough, but didn't seem into it.
I will not repeat.

I had a similar experience on Grindr. The guy refers me to a profile at rentmasseur.info. The text and reviews of the profile were stolen from a real guy on rentmasseur.com, but the pictures were different. Clearly, rentmasseur.info is 100% scam.

I tried him out, and he was good enough that I repeated. However, I think he should just be in the "therapeutic" category, if there were sensual/erotic elements, they were very limited and unmemorable. So unmemorable, in fact, that I don't remember for sure if they even happened.

In many cases, I think the advertiser is using the ambiguity to their advantage, and it’s totally on purpose.
To be a good escort, a guy needs to be able to find the appeal and attractiveness in just about anyone that hires them. That’s simply not the way many of us are wired. Speaking for myself, I know that I could never be an escort because I have a fairly narrow range of physical traits that turn me on, and if a client didn’t appeal to me I would be unable to perform.
So, I think that some guys advertise as masseurs so that they can provide a full escort experience to clients that meet their criteria and just give a body rub to those that don’t turn them on. If they’ve just advertised massage services, even with a some suggestive ambiguity, the client is really in no position to complain if the session doesn’t get sexual.
This can work the other way, too. Arguably, giving a good massage is a lot more work than sex. Sometimes, I think it’s pure laziness that motivates a masseur to steer a massage to sex… it’s simply easier than giving a good massage.

That's absurd. I just looked on GoodRx and generic sildenafil is 30 100mg tablets are $14.89 at Costco, or $15-25 at local grocery store pharmacies.
