Except those people who have "mediocre soundbars" can't afford buying a $3.5K VR headset. And those who have a spare budget of $3.5K to enhance their TV watching experience will invest the money on a better TV and a surround speaker setup.
I want an IMAX viewing experience with booming surround effects and I only have time to watch when the kids are all in bed. Compared with a house large enough to have a dedicated sound-proof theatre room, $3500 doesn’t sound too expensive.
Also not everyone lives in a house, I’m sure Manhattan condo owners can afford the price of the theatre gear, but cannot afford the space required for them to be used optimally. Wealthy people don’t all live in mansions.
You can't get a "booming" sound without a sub.

There are many many people for whom money is not the limiting factor. It's because they don't have the space, the technical wherewithal to set it up, the motivation to make it happen, or some combination of all three.
I think you might be over-extrapolating your own POV. I have a mediocre soundbar and can afford the Vision Pro. I'm not likely to upgrade my soundbar anytime soon (I don't really care), but I'm very likely to buy a Vision Pro.
can't imagine people will only be buying it for movie watching.
