Well, one of the biggest platforms for VR gaming has dropped support for Mac OS.

Coupled with a history of GPU driver support usually being best on Windows and having good GPU support is usually pretty important for VR, its pretty clear why Windows is probably the best platform for VR development at the moment.

To put this in perspective, less than 2% of Steam users have a VR headset. It isn’t exactly a huge market.
