Most people talking favourably about the Quest on HN talk about fitness games. It's easier to justify a hardware purchase if it will have a purpose, as you can compare the cost against a gym membership or a treadmill or a personal trainer. That makes sense to me.
But as a desk-bound professional, Apple's pitch to me is as a work device with a bit of wind-down entertainment as a bonus. It's easier to justify their hardware purchase if you're comparing against a new Studio Display, for example. You can convince yourself that endless screen real estate will solve your digital problems. "Honey, it's not for the PlayStation, it's for actual work."
I think both approaches are decent, but I've got a feeling that Apple are skating to where the puck will be, as they say.
