If there was some massive market for this, it would already exist.
As-is, desktop streaming apps do exist for VR. This emerging paradigm you're describing is yours for the taking, if you want it.
Screens are simply a better paradigm though. I say this as someone with a wireless OLED headset less than 20 feet away from me - I choose to instead respond and browse the internet and program and watch TV on my disappointing, $250 VA panel. There is never a time where I go "I'd rather experience this 2D, traditional content in VR now" even if the headset is charged and ready to go. Casting the content to my TV is much more comfortable, lets me share it with others, lets me eat my popcorn unintruded and works much better for binging sessions where you don't want "headset burns" on your face.

Yes, because this is just so difficult on my phone and laptop. If I want to watch a movie or pull up SSH sessions while I'm on a train, I would much rather do so on an interface that is not stuck to my face.

- smoldesu 3y agoWrite it on my tombstone, if it makes you happy. This headset is dead-on-arrival the moment their "Starting at" figure is revealed to be over $1,000. If that sounds like a longshot to you, then the WWDC response is going to make me look like William Tell.
