Extra stunning because iOS already has some quite fine AR capabilities. This was such a freakish ommission.
At my most charitable, maybe they didn't want to take the risk. They don't know what they would do with those capabilities. AR isn't their thing, as a platform provider. They need developers to go build stuff. By not showing anything, they emphasize what they control, and they show only things they have power over.
In short, the omission keeps the narrative from getting out ahead of the horse.
