I once demoed the VR goggles at Facebook HQ on a tour, my boss and I put on the glasses and were immersed in a world where there was a large dragon. We really roared with excitement and kept saying “wow, amazing” and shaking our head in astonishment as we took the headset off. Then, later we said our goodbyes and left. In the parking lot my boss and I turned to each other both agreed, that VR headset wasn’t that impressive at all, we just acted impressed to be polite.

I think these VR headsets are built for the demo. How much daily demand they have is probably much more limited than the builders think it is.

Also, prolonged use causes nausea in a large percentage of people.
