I think VR has been held back more by expenses and a lack of many good games or a killer app. There's Half Life Alex which is probably the closest thing to a killer app, but most VR games are low budget as a result of the small market and it shows most of the time. Also most VR games are still in that phase where they're figuring out the formula.

Plus most people don't want to own anything Meta makes for pretty reasonable privacy concerns.

Tbh you can absolutely go "budget" with a VR setup if you want. Joy cons, a Google Cardboard headset and Riftcat (debatable, haven't checked the scene in a while), are the only things you need to pay for. There are drivers to have Joycons be interpreted as VR controllers, and voila you got yourself a cobbled together VR setup.
