I would only want a headset that could give me experiences I couldn't get anywhere else. Being trapped in a box and working sounds like prison.

A prison with sponsored skins for your virtual keyboard and mouse.
No one's proposing that, Meta was even showing off custom home environments for the Quest Pro https://mixed-news.com/en/meta-quest-pro-exclusive-home-envi... and you can use it for any other VR experience that you want.
Does anyone wants that ? A virtual luxury home in which you can't interact with anything ? Sounds like a nightmare
People pay a huge premium for a house or condo with a view. You can't easily go touch that view without travelling so I don't see a big difference there. Once consumer level devices catch up resolution wise with the insanely expensive business class headsets there will be almost no difference in the visual experience of looking through a headset vs looking through a window. With mixed reality you could even put that virtual window on your real wall.
