> It's the same situation as the real world

No it isn't. In the real world you must travel through space to get from point A to B. The real world requires you to move from location to location in a relatively linear fashion, making certain locations of higher value. Certain locations have better resources, infrastructure, culture, etc etc. All of this is unlimited in VR. If it's limited, that limitation is completely artificial, and anyone can spin up their own new world with better everything.
