>I hope I live to be old enough that things sold to millions can succeed with their own story, instead of being subjected to eternal comparison to the iPhone story

VR has absolutely "succeeded" in the sense that it's a neat toy to play games with that we didn't have before. But for it to be anything more than that, yes the iPhone analogy is apt. Otherwise it remains a niche PC gaming peripheral, and nothing more (i.e. where we've been stuck for the last 5 years).

The Quest is perhaps a gaming console, but it is very much not a PC peripheral.
