VrChat is/was probably one of the closest experiences to an immersive metaverse in the past years.
Yes and how much time does one spend in that? How long are people in immersive experiences? VR is growing but it is not going to take over, at least not anytime soon.
We will see a lot more MR before that. Sure some will immerse themselves but I foresee more of the Halolens concept from Microsoft taking over.

Agreed, augmented reality is much closer within our reach.
The need for people to escape actual reality is there. So there is a psychological argument to be made. But then again, there are many alternatives (drugs, alcohol, sports, social media, etc) and VR is not for everyone, yet.
That is true about the escape. And while people will binge Netflix, how many people fully "immerse" themselves in it?
We see the escapism as part of this entire thing but the utility is going to be far more important. And that is where we see MR more than fully VR.
