Well.. it sounds like they want to "avoid bulky VR headsets"
But their alternative is even bulkier. A chair with a big screen, more like a personal holodeck box to sit in.
I totally believe this can be used to place better optics and avoid motion sickness, for better immersion.
The product vision is not clear for me - maybe as a better version of the single person privacy phone booths that can be found in shared office environments? At home? Rather not
I'm a millennial, and I've been using VR for the better part of seven years, ever since the Oculus Rift S. If you look at niche communities like sim racing, flight sims, or space sims, you'll find plenty of millennials and Gen Xers who use VR extensively because it offers a level of immersion that a screen (or three) simply can't match.
I suspect your perception of VR users is somewhat skewed by 12-year-olds playing Gorilla Tag on standalone Meta Quests. There's a substantial enthusiast community outside that demographic.

Would love to have it at home and watch a concert! I tried watching a VR concert at YouTube with goggles but the experience is not very relaxed
