Do they realise that there are completely functional AR apps today on the Meta Quest store? Real apps where you can interact with virtual 3d objects in your own living room. I set up my own dojo with japanese decorations on all my office walls so that when I'm fighting my virtual opponent it has the right vibe. This is real, on a device in the low hundreds of dollars and owned already by millions. I really think the media bought it's own hype 5 years ago when it went in hard on the "VR is dead" meme. All the while Facebook was changing the fundamentals of the game with a low cost portable device that all the enthusiasts snobbishly dismissed but regular consumers love.
