> I already have regular Quest 2 sessions with close ones where we shoot the shit and also shoot zombies - it feels like having a friend over for playing video games.

How is this any different from playing Xbox/PlayStation with a friend online?

Not gonna happen. Sorry to break it to you.

Guess we can file you under "not interested" now

I already feel that way in my Oculus Quest 2!

In my opinion there is something different about being "embodied" in a 3D virtual environment that is all around you, seeing the gestures of people you interact with and moving around. Certain human interaction modes, such as moving closer to hear someone, looking at the person you are talking to, gesturing to highlight conversation points etc are already qualitatively different in VR than video games imo. And it looks like this will further increase in the future with face tracking etc.
