Gaming is a huge market, and if you go in to any free to play game it's absolutely inundated with kids/preteens.
You can also roam using apps that let you do Google street view stuff in VR, create art, watch movies in a theater like experience alone or by yourself, and of course a lot of people use it for porn.
Even usual non-gamers love stuff like Walkabout Mini Golf or Star Wars Pinball.

What portion of that market is VR?
That’s the issue I see. Gaming may be the best thing in VR, but VR hasn’t felt necessary to the average gamer at all. It’s still a small niche.

So what? Go play and enjoy.

Not even sure what that means. You come across as someone who likes to complain and never actually enjoy something. Good luck with that.
I miss the Google Cardboard I used to revisit places I traveled to, is there an app that really give access to Google Street View on the Quest 2?
Yep, there are. Wander is one, though I think there are others. You can even do it multiplayer, which is how my wife and I use it.
It’s asking for the use case. If there isn’t a use case outside gaming, there is no value on the table for non-gamers.
