It takes more attention to notice that you can combine a niche gaming device with a random 3rd party application to do work in VR, than the attention it takes to notice that Apple did a thing. Everyone, even people that aren't typically Apple consumers, would notice that Apple released a new product.
It sorta reminds me of the PS3. It came out at the same time as Blu-ray players and was capable of playing Blu-ray movies as a bonus feature. While the PS3 cost $600, the Blu-ray players cost $1,000+, and people still purchased the players. For people that were looking for a device to play movie discs, it took too much attention to notice that a gaming device offers that and much more for much less.
