Agreed. I bought a VR headset a few years ago with the idea of using iRacing to practice for actual track days. It was a plausible use case with a lot of significant practical advantages.
But in reality, it was just unpleasant to use. I just didn't like having something strapped to my face. Ultimately, 3 monitors provided an adequately immersive experience for learning without the hassle/discomfort of having a headset on. Honestly, it was kind of better anyway.
I suspect that what people will quickly find is that although a VR meeting might in certain respects have theoretical advantages, its just not better enough (or maybe even better at all) to overcome the hassle. I don't want to go into a meeting room and strap on a headset, especially not the headset everyone else has been strapping on for the last month. Comparing zoom to a headset, I'd take zoom.
