"imagine a VR world"
I don't see how this contributes any insights into the issue. How is that "world" any different from a real world experience, relevant to this issue?
I mean, nothing in Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean ride explains "why it feels to everyone like experiences are being exported out of it" either.

There's no way to tell if neuroscience is just the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride through which something else is getting pulled through on boats. Is there any evidence one way or the other? What would evidence look like? I think it is beyond the reach of science because there is no experiment you could ever do that would illuminate it. Something that can only be resolved by discussing the options and choosing which one feels the most reasonable is philosophy, and not science.
