And how does a 3d rendered world that doesn't exist anywhere other than in a computer has more fidelity than real life ?

That's your opinion, the fact that VR tanked hard seems to indicate most people don't agree

It has more fidelity than a photograph or a 2d video. No one has claimed it is higher fidelity than real life.

It's not always posible to meet up with people in real life. A lot of my friends moved overseas and I have neither the time nor inclination to be flying to sweden/the USA constantly.

This in no way changes the reality of their situation, in fact frankly, its irrelevant. Something being "nice" or "good" does not require it also have mass market appeal.
