Apple Releases Tool for Calibrating Apple Pro Display XDR
Apple today released a new Display Firmware 4.2.30 update for the Pro Display XDR, with the software introducing a new Pro Display XDR Calibrator allowing for in-field recalibration.
Alongside the new calibration tool, Apple has provided a support document that walks users through calibrating the Pro Display XDR. There's a walkthrough for measuring the display, fine tuning the calibration through Displays preferences, and using the in-field recalibration.
In-field recalibrations allow the Pro Display XDR to be tuned to a third-party spectroradiometer through the feature added in the firmware update. These calibrations require the new firmware, macOS Catalina 10.15.6, and a supported spectroradiometer.
Apple also provides several tips for measuring and calibrating a Pro Display XDR, such as controlling the ambient lighting, calibrating in cool ambient temperatures, and optimal setup for spectroradiometers.

I don’t think you fully understand what this display is, and therefore what you’re talking about. Its ok - It’s not a monitor for you that’s all. Can I direct you to the threads on the price of the stand? Or perhaps go and complain on the forums for ‘reasonably priced monitors’ instead.
This monitor isn’t even expensive in this world and has many purposes above surfing the internet at home.
Just because you don’t understand the purpose doesn’t mean “5 people” find it useful.
