I think one of the reasons Vision Pro and metaverse have been struggling is because their engines are bad. Not just locked down, but hard to develop on (although I don't have personal experience, I've heard this about VR in general). If you want to build a community, you must make development easy for hobbyists and small users*. I believe this has held even for the biggest companies, case in point the examples above.
* Though you also need existing reputation, hence small companies struggle to build communities even with good engines.
I've never met a single person that had a mindset of "I need to pick up some stuff at Target... oh wait I just remembered they cancelled their internal DEI program, I'd better do some research and shop at a retailer that still has a DEI program instead"
