VR is just part of it, it's the easiest version of XR and will be viable for years before good AR. It's only a stepping stone as technologies mature, and calling it "VR" seems to betray a fundamental misunderstanding. The goal isn't something separate and sequestered from real life, but intertwined with it.

Explicitly commented on (ex 4Q21 ER), text -> images -> video -> ??? as increasing immersion when technology (like bandwidth) allows. Escaping a 2D screen is their attempt to leapfrog 'disruption' (Instagram, TikTok) and own the future before it happens, because they won't be able to buy it with current antitrust positioning.
