I think VR is doing OK
According to Steam has more number users than either Mac or Linux
And just Quest 2 alone has 20 millions unit sold, same number as XBOX Series X/S that released on the same year
I don't think the situation is that bad

20 million sold. 19 million units covered in dust in some box you never check

Seems anecdotal at best— I play beat Sabre at least a few times a week with the family, which is ironically, still anecdote.
