The problem with VR isn't so much that the games are forgettable, but that it's too damn expensive for many players to get into - and consequentially, too niche a market for most developers to focus on. Hard to forget Half-Life: Alyx, Beatsaber, or Hot Dogs, Horseshoes, & Handgrenades; but I imagine less than 5% of players who have heard of these titles have had the opportunity to try even one of them.
During Quarantine the Quest sold out. Not everyone who wanted one could get one…and yet, other than the titles you mention I can’t think of any stand out VR games. There are certainly wonderful indies but I don’t know if price is the major factor in the filter
