This is a classic HN contrarian point of view that doesn't address this persons actual concerns. What you're saying is true, but AR/VR is magnitudes of scale more immersive than any tool or artform human's have had. You talk about IRL things like trips, hikes, etc - but AR will become so integrated into those experiences that the patina of Reality (which OP is talking about) may very well all but disappear.
