The same could be said even moreso about (wearable) AR - that the technology isn't there yet, especially at a price needed for mass adoption. I see VR and AR as different sides of the same coin, and I believe that Facebook does as well from various comments they have made. Many of the technological problems are similar (with VR being "easier" to solve). It seems pretty clear to me that Facebook is investing heavily in VR because they see AR as being a big future platform. (And FB is still putting a lot of resources into VR, with the imminent release of Oculus Quest and continued heavy R&D.)
