Basically what Truscape said. Their hardware, specifically the Quest headsets, is easy for newcomers to get into. They’re relatively cheap compared to other headsets and can be used standalone without a PC, with the caveat of not being as powerful and unable to play many titles or having to play downgraded versions unless connected to a VR capable PC. The Quest also has standalone tracking, meaning it can be used anywhere without the requirement of mounted external sensors. You could pack up the headset and controllers and take it to your friend’s place to have them try it out, with no setup required.
When connected to a VR capable PC, either by USB-C or wireless AirLink, it functions like any other headset with the PC running the game and streaming it to the headset. This allows you to play PCVR games using the Quest.
tl;dr The hardware is largely more affordable and accessible, but nobody wants to use their software.
