Many people long for VR as they have no confidence that the problems of this reality will be addressed. Keep in mind that most of the issues aren't technological but political. They are problems that could be or could have been fixed already.

There is a subset of people who have relatively pleasant lives that don't understand what most people experience.

This is a solid answer.

I hope we can make the real world so good that VR, while it will have more variety, will not be able to fundamentally exceed real life when all things are considered.

I'm doubtfully that politics will enable star trek space travel. No doubt that changing politics would improve things but never to the extent of vr.
