It's well known that the first version of this is for developers and
early goers. Will take a couple iterations before price comes down.

You would much rather have the battery off of your head. Experience
speaking.

But, they could have put batteries in them and simply had a separate larger battery and a cable to extend use-time.

You clearly have no clue of the scale difference between your wireless
headphones (sound, low bandwidth) and what Apple are doing with these
goggles: many sensors, displays, processors - very high bandwidth (of
various kinds).
I have FPV goggles for drone use, and wearing them for more than 20
minutes is a strain. Would love for the battery to be on my belt instead.
