It's getting better every year, the hardware just wasn't there before. I think the sweet spot will be in new vr-native experiences and not awkward skeuomorphic-ish implementations of the offline world in VR(which is what horizon seems to be trying to do) or gaming. Turning a 2D experience into a VR one will continue to have worse graphics and odd mechanics for the foreseeable future, and gaming in VR is just not relaxing compared to sitting on the couch with a controller. Not everyone wants to flail about and gesticulate after a long day of work.
I personally like to sit back and watch random "experiences," virtual tours and stuff and when I introduce someone new to VR I show them these first rather than games. Complete immersion without having to think about what to do with your hands.
Another interesting experience is Liminal https://liminalvr.com/ https://liminalvr.com/ It uses sounds/visual stimulation with the intent of affecting your "mood" and it's being developed by bona fide psychological researchers. It's truly something that can only exist in VR!
