When the technology has shrunk enough to be comfortable for extended periods of time and the displays + cameras are good enough to prevent distortion and other weird effects, probably some people (that have disposable income)! It’s still early expensive tech so adoption isn’t going to be widespread

Those people are in for a rude awakening when it turns out an erased person can still give them a wack across the head.

VR hype/doom really tends to downplay the importance of material reality. VR offers no shelter, no food, no sex, no true impact in the world. It is only a platform for media.
