I'm a big fan of VR, but I don't agree when you say Meta is the only decent option. You talk in your post about immersiveness, but that's what the "niche" (as you call them) headsets are attempting to maximize. I recommend people get an OG HTC Vive if they have a budget and can only afford Meta range product. At least vive has an upgrade path toward supporting the highest quality VR you can get and with limited vendor lock in.

I know a few using Quest, and their decision seems to be driven by either not owning a powerful enough PC or getting it because it's what their friends have. Most good PC VR sets use lighthouse tracking. Requires additional setup/permanent space installation, but the tracking is at least superior. Lots of hardware supports the lighthouse tracking which was developed by HTC and Valve teaming up, so you can mix and match controllers, headset, and full body tracking to your liking.
