It failed because of prohibitive cost that didn’t scale down and it’s still a toy for wealthy people, even that budget Quest VR. There are still fundamental issues with motion sickness that are just brushed off by most.
There is no guarantee ever that things will progress from where they are. People who bought into VR by now bought into modern day Nintendo Virtual Boys, which is cool but not exactly revolutionary. 20 years from now we’ll look at current technology like VR headsets from the 90s - impressive but still ways off.
