I don't understand why everyone is in a race to fulfil some weird dream that requires a lot of big technological leaps that aren't even on the horizon.

It very much sounds to me like VR just doesn't have any decent application. The dream of AR as truly assistive technology seems so far on the horizon that I struggle to incorporate it into serious MR/VR discussions. That's how bad the content drought is. Worse yet, every time this discussion comes up, people argue that VR will be adopted by decreasingly cost-sensitive fields. It used to be that VR was for gamers; that didn't work, so we pivoted to marketing it for engineers. That didn't work, so now... it's consumer hardware? It's for doctors? Soldiers? Who knows, just wait a few months and someone will fund a new excuse.
