Because in a pool you can see everything, know you're in shallow water and have a pro next to you, and you're in warm water; Take away those 3 variables then re-evaluate when you're in 40 feet of Winni water;

Sooooo true. I've known a few folks who were gung-ho at the outset -- going so far as to buy nearly everything (usually at this particular shop's recommendation/discount) before they were a few weeks into a ten-week pool course. When they got into the "real water" and decided it was too cold, too murky, their ears couldn't equalize, the visibility sucked, they didn't like being deep, they put their gear up for sale.
But, chances are if you have the itch, you'll like it. Or love it.
