That's a terrible bet. Anyone who has ever played a 3D game will immediately understand that a 3D world is a strictly inferior interface for almost all use cases where you are actually trying to get something done, e.g. read and answer an email.

What do you expect monitor technology to look like in 20 years; the same as today just with more pixels? If someone types by touch, what's the difference between a VR monitor and a physical monitor?
