Businesses won't invest without a use case and profit potential. They see one with 5g XR which is why there is a wave of new technology on the horizon. Military tech is a different story, but still takes a long time to trickle down to the consumer sector. Point still stands - the obsolescence curve and early adoption costs are too steep at this point in time for me to justify a purchase.
The way you're talking about early adoption and costs being too steep you'd think VR headsets had only been on the market for 6 months and cost thousands to own. In reality I don't see the obslescence curve of a VR headset being any worse than a top end graphics card or CPU costing similar amounts, all 3 will technically be superceded by better products within a year but it doesn't mean they can't give you 3-5 years of good service before really needing replacing. A Rift CV1 from 2016 won't be as good as a more modern headset but it's still perfectly useable and capable of giving the VR wow factor to someone that's not tried anything better.
