I think it's always worth considering the timeframe with these sorts of things.
Right now, yes, you're probably right.
But in 5, 10, 20, 50 years?
I see widespread VR/AR (especially AR) as being inevitable at some point in the future. But we still have a long way to go. It could still tangibly be decades away before the technology evolves into the right "shape".
Even with the current generation of VR hardware we're still looking at the equivalent of Charles Babbage's difference engine and trying to predict the iPhone from it.
