You can use a quest with steam VR, it’s not as jailed as people think but without linking to a PC it is pretty content poor. There are good games for VR but nothing that really screams “This is worth the extra $300+ to get a headset to play it”. At least not to me, someone who had a Vive and currently has a quest 3.
Not really, people just lack the imagination or desire to create their own characters. It’s a lot easier to tell a bot “you are X from the show X” and let it use its ill gotten knowledge to fill in the personality than it is to write a whole personality prompt.
