The same could be argued about HL:Alyx for VR, yet here we are...
VR has a major physical problem that no one has been able to solve: Nausea.
I feel bad for people who do but I’ve never gotten nauseous from VR. Maybe it doesn’t need to be for everyone? I haven’t played HL Alyx but from what I’ve heard it’s heavily crippled and reduced compared to something like Boneworks because it tries to accommodate those with motion sickness etc
Yeah, I can play Alyx just fine with point and click movement, aside from my head getting ridiculously hot, but full-motion like boneworks wrecks me in 10 minutes.
Even if Alyx is "crippled" it's by far the best VR content that exists, by an incredibly wide margin. (I'm too lazy to check but I also think you can change it to full motion.)
It should be noted that I don't get motion sickness in other contexts like in vehicles, rollercoasters, acrobatic aircraft, etc.
