TPTB wouldnt invest gazillions into a product without a customer. There was no genuine hype cycle, there was no consumer demands for such a system, and most investors wouldnt invest unless there was a path to monetization.

My first thought is the prison population. Perhaps there's a way (or in development) to put people into the metaverse and not let them out? Just hook them up to an IV for basic nutrience and enjoy your cost savings!
What else could it be used for because it's not for consumers bc consumers dont want it?
