an interesting idea but the technology just isn't there.
even if the technology were here, ultimately the things people enjoy involve reality - eating, vacations, traveling, etc.
I'd go the other extreme actually and make some sort of "superreality"
if you ask a million people "what brings you joy" - the vast majority of the answers will involve spending time with other people in person. video games, social media, etc. only serve as a gateway to reality. a "metaverse" would ultimately be at odds with this.

It's challenging, requires communication, you shoot the shit, laugh, drink, etc. I already refer to it as plugging in. Sure I prefer a lake house, or skiing in the mountains, but that's expensive, and not accessible to most. I think too if the environment trends into more chaotic areas you can expect people to spend more time inside, thus more demand for digital experiences.
