It has literally nothing to do with the metaverse or virtual offices. It's a productivity device. While I don't think it's something I want, plenty of people like the idea of having 6+ monitors which take up the space of less than one (at the expense of having to wear it on your face). They're also marketing it as being useful for remote work, so instead of taking your laptop with you with one screen, you take this headset and you've got your whole multi monitor desktop with you. Bit more clunky because you need to carry a separate mouse + keyboard (keeb with a trackball/trackpad on it), but for certain people that's worth it.
