I've never understood why we aren't putting those hard problems into a backpack that you wear and is connected to a very lightweight head device.

Nobody would buy it. Worst that might fly is a cord going to a phone, and I'm not sure about that.

Apart from the fact that people might not want it, even technically you might still have latency issues, our eyes are extremely sensitive… also keep in mind: the sensors and displays you need on head might still weigh a lot and consume a lot of power on your head, even if all processing power is relegated to an external unit.
