To take a counter view..
I have literally been waiting to get into VR since 1993 and the Lawnmower man.
Why do I not have a system?
It is not cost.
It is not building the system.
I would say the main reason is I don't like video games.
There is just something so lacking with VR if you don't want to play games.
I remember the old MIT media lab mobile computing devices and videos in the 90s. They were nothing like a smart phone. More like the failure of google glass.
I do wonder if the headset is simply a wrong path.

Yes, it's lacking more apps. Which is rather a Catch-22. There has to be demand for them. Games are just an 'easy' (relatively speaking) medium to get into.
There are a few practical concerns of course. In a work environment, your manager can no longer easily interrupt you. They can't easily keep tabs on what you are doing either. This is enough to kill it at a workplace – maybe an exception for some engineering/medical settings.
