Probably because of this:

- danielmarkbruce 2y agoThat's confusing the decision to work on something with the quality of the folks working on it. Brilliant engineers often work on things which are risky from a market perspective. It doesn't make them less brilliant at engineering when it turns out there isn't a market for the thing. John Carmack appears to be brilliant. I'd guess he would admit the VR market didn't turn out as hoped.
