What do you mean "even"? I would say especially apple couldn't make VR mainstream.
But VR is already mainstream to a certain demographic; furries. They try to get VR headsets even when they're broke, because they want to escape reality as much as possible, and pretend like they're the actual character they like to imagine themselves as. And it's better than any fursuits can.
You want to make a successful VR headset, then you'll have to make and market it for those that want to live ~~(and do virtual sex)~~ in VR. Not as some weird, incredibly expensive office tool.
That's not what mainstream is. That's what a niche is.
Furries have long since stopped being a small, niche, minority corner of the Internet. You can literally measure the success of a platform these days by how many furries are actively using it.
Even if your echo chamber has like a million people, they're still just a tiny portion of worldwide population.
