It might be the future, but not the near future. Some places in the world are still struggling with connectivity issues, network services in some countries are still at 3G, Internet costs are still very high. especially when streaming data. Web developers are still working on progressive web apps that can be used by everyone, even those with disabilities. VR may always remain a luxury for the majority.
Also being that you cannot kinda publicly move around with them, it means there's limited multi tasking which is a required skill especially for the middle class.
We need to work on the issues we still have on the web, before we can upgrade to the metaverse.
However, there's also multiple episodes of Black Mirror that show how improved VR or metaverse might positively or negatively affect our lives.

Very good point. I think there is legitimate fear that new technology, especially those being pushed as the metaverse, can cause for more inequality.
I think AR will become first widely adopted. Then VR will follow along the way. It’d be interesting to see AR fuse reality with the Metaverse.
