That's like people in the late 1890s saying "if cars were gonna catch on it would have happened by now." Give technology time to catch up to vision. Right now even my mid tier PC VR setup is over 3k. The consumer version of VR is 400 ish but woefully underpowered. When the cost and the form factor finally line up we will see the birth of the "metaverse". Who ever wrote this lacks vision, and sure as hell never experienced all the awesome fun I have had in VR.
