It also doesn't help Apple's VR prospects that many VR developers are coming from games, even if they aren't working on gaming VR applications, and from high end 3D games in particular because of the skill set overlap. Apple has never really embraced games and particularly not high end desktop games and my experience at a major AAA game developer (I'm now a freelance VR dev) was that Apple was by far the worst partner to work with of any of the platform holders (and we worked with pretty much all of them).

Apple gets a lot less love overall from game developers than from web developers because they don't appear to care about games and don't give the kind of developer support game devs are used to from other platform holders and hardware companies. Even if they were to announce something in the VR space it would take a lot of changes to their approach for that to change I feel.
