I've tried them and I disagree with you.
They're fine if you're just playing around, but they're not good for any sort of labor. Just about the only real use I found for them was making a ridiculously large virtual monitor for watching YouTube.
The FOV for the HoloLens 2 was a huge let down -- maybe on paper it looks better than the HoloLens 1, but it's still far too narrow.
The weight is very well balanced, but it's still just a lot of additional weight that gives people headaches.
They're also too bulky to wear in any industrial setting where you have to be careful about head clearance.
Sure, the HoloLens is still an impressive feat of engineering, but it still has a long way to go before it can be used in the industrial applications Microsoft has been marketing it towards.
