They never found a reason for it to exists.
Metaverse has reasons, sure. Sure you can meet with people. Sure you can play games. Sure the headsets are functional unlike glasses.

Why spend $400 on a headset for something you might use rarely? And that has no clear benefit above so many alternatives.
