It’s more than just the ability to get in or out of VR — VR has space requirements for most applications; even if you’re standing still, you’ll need space around you for your arms to move. VR, in part, is a real estate problem.

I have a headset I bought a few years ago (PSVR), and while it’s easy enough to set up, I don’t want to rearrange my living room every time I use it.

This is mostly solved by going wireless which allows you to use your headset anywhere you have space. A lot of experiences are designed to work while seated or in very limited space as well. It is a bummer if you don’t have enough room for the really active experiences though but in my experience that’s the minority.

I think you're missing what I'm saying: while I have space, the space I have requires some effort to make VR-ready. Wireless is interesting (I can use it in my backyard, for example), but that comes with its own set of caveats.
