Even in that older article he wrote about the Metaverse, it seemed like somebody just gave Ben Thompson a really good demo, and that made him bullish on the product. He's a very smart analyst, typically, but I don't think his prediction about the usefulness (or more accurately the adoption) of VR for business meetings is going to pan out.
