> they are isolating

That's kind of the whole point isn't it?

I want to be immersed an isolated while I'm experiencing VR.

Isolated in local space yes, but thanks to games like VR Chat, not isolated in "virtual" space. I have spent entire nights hanging out with a virtual crowd who all shared each other's living rooms

That's a specific type of experience though. Not all VR applications are going to be social experiences.
