- you can work anywhere in the house with your big screen. In the bed, then on the thread mill, then on the desk, then standing. No need to change the setup.

- you can use it in any luminosity. No reflection if you code, no big light to wake up people sleeping if you watch a movie.

- you can code in any posture, including on your back.

- you can go in nature and code, read, get into a meeting. I really want that. I miss the sun on my skin at the office.

- you can go in full immersion, with no visual distraction what so ever.

- you can have your big screen when traveling. Want to work near the beach in the south of France ? Sure your can, why wait for the holidays ? You can be productive in the hotel room with your full setup, and then enjoy a dip in the water then a lunch at the local cafe.

I wouldn't make it my only setup. It kills social interaction. I like my pen and paper. But the options are nice, if you can afford it.

It's definitely something to improve some aspects of work, not a shift. And you will enjoy it more if you are already fortunate to have money, and freedom in your work.

But there is a place for it.

You may be overestimating the state of vr lenses.

Consumer lenses, definitely. But with higher end lenses like in our headset or Varjo, XTAL, etc. there are very little image errors.

I miss the sun too but I can't imagine being outdoors with those and enjoying being outside. What about the sweat on my face because of having a heating device strapped onto my head ?

I'd rather have an long battery life arm pc with an e-ink screen.
