I admit I'm always puzzled by this as well, and can't help feeling (perhaps unfairly) that it's like preferring vinyl. Every VR thread I've ever seen has a lot of "VR is dead because of the resolution and it makes people sick, but AR! AR is endless possibilities!" Like, I think augmenting the world is cool. But going to an imaginary world is much cooler. Maybe it's just that I'm an escapist by nature, and other people are more adult and practical.
