when will sky go be available on the apple vision pro

You are asking other customers here and not Sky so all we can say is that they have not announced any plans that they plan to add it to these devices.

That's an incredibly niche and staggeringly expensive device: I'd suggest the limited resources which Sky allocates to the Go app would be better employed in fixing the fairly fundamental issues that Go has on mainstream Apple hardware, as demonstrated in multiple posts to this forum.

All iPad apps are available automatically on the Vision Pro unless a developer disables that feature. So they are doing it by choice when the cost to them would be negligible. 
We all pay lots for Sky so should be able to watch it where we want (even if the Vision Pro is a big investment and not used by as many as the other platforms). Now TVs iPad app is available on it so why not Sky Go?! 

But I agree that there are also improvements Sky Go should get in general so that we all win

This is NOT about dedicating resources to supporting AVP. It's actually the opposite. It takes more effort for them not to support AVP by default so whether it is a niche or expensive device doesn't come into it. 

They purposely, and at their own effort, block AVP because they want to protect their own hardware ecosystem, paranoia about piracy, they want to maintain their lock in power (just try and cancel sky cinema and you'll see what I mean) and commercial leverage over Apple. And worst of all, they can't compete with streaming platforms so they don't want to be forced to compete. In summary, this has everything to do with sky trying to prevent change and stay relevant and nothing to do with what customers want.

Apple Inc could purchase the Comcast Corporation with its spare change....

Quite possibly, but they really have no obligation (or commercial incentive) to bow to the wishes of every subscriber.  I suspect there are considerably more users of several other platforms who would like a native Go client than those who own that fabulously expensive Apple toy, particularly as Sky Group is now going to be operating in just three European countries, and has no presence at all in the USA.

A much more likely route to AVP compatibility would be for Sky to abandon Go entirely (as a legacy application which is really showing its age) and adopt a rebadged Comcast Xfinity Stream app.

Sky Glass, Sky Stream, NowTV, the Max Hub and the new Gigabit+ Hub are all Comcast products under the hood.
