not surprising in the least. VR is a gimmick that is great for hobbyists and coomers, but was never going to see wide adoption. AR is just a meme straight out.
VR isn't taking off like people imagined because:
It's expensive
It's complicated
It's uncomfortable
There aren't any good games for it
People don't want to look like dorks
1,2, and 3 is just a matter of time.
4 is easily explainable as a consequence of the same primitiveness as 1-3.
5 is a longer term problem, but people who used to have computers in their watches were considered dorky not that long ago. Now, you wouldn't think much about it.
I still think smartwatches are for dweebs. Up there with people who willingly put wiretaps in their home
and almost a quarter of people that use it get motion sickness
