You've not played the right games, then. I mean, take Robo Recall, which is one of the first things that came out. Sure, you can do a shooting game without VR, but then you don't get the experience of tearing a robot apart with your own hands and punching another's head off with a torn off arm.
Or Elite Dangerous is quite the experience in VR too. Less so than Robo Recall, but it works out extremely well if you have a HOTAS. You work as if you were sitting in a cockpit.
Or Subnautica, which in VR gets even more terrifying.
Or VR Chat and similar, where you get to interact far more personally than you would just looking at an avatar on a screen.
Now of course it's not like it solves world hunger or anything, but the tech works extremely well within the right scenarios.
