That NYTimes article recently did the same thing. Anyone that is serious about understanding the state of VR, but has no experience with VRChat is a huge red flag to me. You don't have to like the culture on VRC(I don't love it), but it is where most of the content and players are. In a way it could a good sign that VR is becoming more accessible, but it's still a bit annoying.

Is this true? I have VR but I don't enjoy it as a social hangout space for example. Why do you think that most players are interested in that type of content?

I don’t enjoy VRChat myself. It’s essentially VR Roblox but not for kids, or an eventual evolution of Second Life for anyone that remembers it. Furries and anime aside, it is just not my thing.

That said, VRChat is probably the closest thing to being what people think of as the metaverse, and that’s why it’s useful to get familiar with it even if it’s not for you

I don't do VR, and VRChat is pretty much the only thing I've heard of people actually using from multiple friends and co-workers.

There is an obvious bias of more social people being more likely to play more social games as well as more likely to talk about playing them.
