I agree for pianos, because the mechanical feedback is part of what makes playing enjoyable.

I'm not as sure for keyboards in VR! There has been a lot of research on non-invasive brain computer interface (BCI), including predictive systems that guess what you want to type, instead of where you're actually typing (example from 8y ago [1]).

Simpler gesture recognition is already on the market (like this one, from 2020, for the apple watch [2]). And now bigger VR players are investing in the tech [3]. I expect useful brain interface to be integrated in common VR devices in a couple of generations.
