The problem they may solve is ‘the real world is increasingly bleak’.
When living in ever-smaller homes with minimal personal space and accelerating urban decay outside, with decreasing access to transport to escape the cities, escaping to virtual spaces is likely to become more desirable.

That's just not gonna be the tipping point for enough people to drop their glorious 86" QNED/QLED TVs and their 32" 4k @ 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitors, which can be had for less than the price of an AVP, certainly not in time to save it.
