AR is interesting for applications where you're dealing with the physical reality immediately proximate to you. I would expect that the internet has taught us nothing if not that it's much more economically efficient to enable telepresence (i.e. immersion in a remote environment) than anything which requires matter to be colocated with you. I very much see it the other way around: AR will be huge boon in physical, need-my-hands-on matter industries (of which there are relatively few nowadays) and VR will swallow everything else.
