It really isn't because you can't see everything at once. And I'm sure VR/AR will provide equally fast shortcuts for moving between anchor spaces.

I have three monitors, and it's still not enough. I would be thrilled if each of my monitors had four times the apparent area in a 3D space that layered applications and documents behind each other in some approximately intuitive way.

You also can’t see everything at once with VR or with multiple monitors. You have to shift your focus and move your eyes/your head. It is though probably a matter of preference whether you want to have your windows etc. layed out in 2D or 3D space that you have to move around in, or whether you want buttons you can blindly press to have the desired window pop up immediately right in front of you where you’re currently looking at.
