You are ignoring that plenty of people, especially young people, already tolerate headsets enough to spend many hours wearing them.

Making the headsets much much lighter, less hot, wireless, better optics, higher res, higher refresh rates, etc., will improve the experience massively.

Look into what is already public: companies are exploring eye tracking, varifocal lenses (so your eyes are not always looking at the same focal plane), etc.

You can even compare the Index versus the Quest 2 to see what a difference a better screen can make.

People already deal with eye strain by staring at a bright screen from a fixed distance for most of their life.

Neural link, sure, eventually. For now, if you don’t think ten years of progress won’t lead to hundreds of millions of devices sold, well, wait and see.
