It definitely varies from person to person, but I would dispute the assertion that it cannot be used for longer periods of time in principle. The category of games where your avatar moves through controller usage includes most flight sims, for example, and yet some people (myself included) can play them for hours in VR. I also play Ground Branch in VR sometimes, using keyboard and mouse for navigation, and it only takes a couple minutes to settle into a comfortable state. So I think there's a subset of people for whom this is not a problem. The question is how large that subset is...
