There's no way to know, but until something changes, I assume it will have limited success but not set the world on fire. Even if the technology gets really good and really cheap, there's still the issue of whether people want to use it for non-video game purposes, which from my very informal survey of coworkers is "no".
My theory is that the failure of VR for business is going to be that it is bringing synchronous work back to a workforce that has mostly realized that it wants to work asynchronously. That is, it's trying to recreate being in an office, which is precisely what a lot of people don't want right now.
There may be some cases it's useful for, but it's not going to result in hundreds of billions of dollars of profit without being widely adopted for general purpose "metaverse" usage.
