Interesting point of view. One thing missing: Bluetooth. That is needed to connect keyboard, mouse and trackpad. Though the Studio Display could support Universal Control.
My speculation go somewhat in another direction:
– Apple had to announce Studio Display alongside Mac Studio to deliver a complete story for it.
– They will announce a 27″ Pro version at the next opportunity i.e. WWDC. It will include panel features people were missing: ProMotion, 120Hz, …
– Plus an updated Pro Display XDR – better renamed to Max – with an Apple chip (M1?) and memory.
– Along the Pro versions they announce new capabilities for these displays enabled through a new *OS. And the capabilities will be made available for current Studio Display via software update: AirPlay, Apple TV, Universal Control.
– …and programming kit? But for what? Gaming? Spatial mic and camera face/hand recognitions could be used for input via mimics, gestures & movements.
– Maybe using these inputs to design & develop augmented reality apps – instead or together with AR glasses.
Or are A13 / 64 GB just proof of Tim Cook’s supply chain & reuse optimisation? Though I think the camera/mic/speaker combo has significant potential justifying A13 / 64GB plus an *OS.

I guess we will know more at WWDC.
