I’m sorry but this is just a lack of imagination. Storytelling can work just fine in VR (or 180 video or 360 video), you just have to adapt to the new medium. This brings new possibilities, too. I suggest you watch Tales From Soda Island for an excellent example of VR storytelling. Then check out Pearl and Alumette. For 360 video check out The Soloist. Yes, not all old techniques work in the new medium. That is not a reason to write it off, as people with imagination have already proven by developing a new cinematographic language for it.
