It is not taking off in the consumer space because of cost. Hololens 2 is the best headset available today that has a relevant software platform and it isn't even sold to end customers anymore but just to enterprises. What keeps costs up are the technical limitations. Microsoft and Magicleap invested both more than a billion each to solve the tech challenges, but the truth is that the displays are not good enough. Framerate is too low (compare with VR what would be necessary), FoV still rather limiting, colors and blacks are still to faint for many environment lighting conditions, room scanning is still too inaccurate, battery life too short. This is not to say there hasn't been great progress. Hololens 2 solves the comfort problem and is a nice step with resolution and FoV. They just messed up with image quality (color banding/rainbows are a big issue).
