VR games are great at home already. I'm not sure I understand your common logic about video games working on a screen.
Is playing real paintball more immersive and real than playing VR paintball in Rec Room? Of course it is. It's also an expensive hobby with a bunch of equipment that requires you to set aside hours of time and drive to a paintball arena.
You can't just jump from "This isn't a 100% faithful reproduction of real life activities" to "This is pointless and will never catch on."
Pong is clearly inspired by ping pong, but you wouldn't have played it in the 70's and said "Pong is not the same as ping pong, video games aren't going anywhere."
Funnily enough, ping pong is one of the more convincing VR experiences because you only need to move in a small area, and the small haptic feedback from the controller is close enough to a ball hitting the paddle. Just don't try to lean on the table, it's not there.
