There is plenty of market hungry for devices like this. Companies were buying Hololenses in fairly large quantities (tens up to hundreds!) for their internal use, despite it being essentially a lab product and not very suitable for day-to-day industrial use. Oh and US Army signed a contract for up to 100 000 (!!!) of these (see: https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/28/18116939/microsoft-army-... )
The same Hololens 2 - except there Microsoft isn't able to deliver these due to manufacturing issues.
That something isn't selling millions of pieces like an iPhone doesn't mean that there isn't a market for it.
Magic Leap's problems were mostly of their own making - their gizmo wasn't significantly better than Hololens, in many aspects it was actually worse. For ex. the "goggles" form factor limiting spatial awareness - big deal e.g. in factories where a maintenance tech wearing it could get hurt or killed by a moving piece of machinery that they couldn't see.
They have also focused mostly on hype rather then things that actually matter to businesses (given the price and form factor trying to market it to public was a non-starter - Microsoft didn't even attempt that). And, finally - you can't actually buy the gizmo, even if you wanted to - they aren't selling it anywhere except in the US! Unlike Microsoft, which has no such issues.
