You mean your story of buying an unnamed “Microsoft” headset at least 5 years ago and using it so little that you could still return it? Ok. Yeah. That kind of “user story” is pretty insubstantial.
That’s not a user story. That’s a personal anecdote from over 5 years ago. The complaints you mentioned are not valid to the current hardware that is available to consumers right now.

VR is also a game changer for racing games and flight simulators (all of which are seated and stationary and require no additional room).
