Smartphones are more expensive than the Quest for most of the medium high range one, and among the numerous reasons why VR is not taking off, is simply because people don't feel like they will make good use of it or even need it. The awareness is there (the PR machine has made sure everyone knows that VR is around), the tech is decent (the Quest works relatively well compared to VR headsets 5 years ago), there's some content to purchase (might be lackluster but it's not missing anymore), and the pricepoint is low enough that it's not an issue anymore for adoption. So at the end of the day, lack of sales = lack of interest. Some other anecdotal evidence: I have numerous PC entusiasts and gamers in my cirles, who have tons of disposable income and who like trying new stuff and actively follow the latest news, but I can only point to one who has purchased a VR headset. That can't be a good sign.
