Totally disagree with you. VR even in its currently pretty early stages is an absolute blast. Some of the most fun I've had gaming any time recently has been on a Quest 2. And I grew up on 8 and 16 bit consoles so I've been through the gamut of gaming experiences.

When the technology does another 5-10 years of advancing it's going to be absolutely huge.

And to your point about old people not getting tech, my grandmother and mom both love VR and play games and do workouts on Quest together. They actually use them more than I do.
