Maybe it's harder to be #1 without being free but there are many video sites competing with YouTube that do pretty well. Vimeo, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, etc- they're not FREE but they're still very popular. There's no reason to believe that Facebook's VR network will be the only one.
Also, none of the products you listed had first mover advantage. They're all excellent examples of things that upset a formerly dominant major player.
