I have with my own eyes seen a motorbike-taxi driver on a Bangkok street using a cheap VR device. I think you over-estimate how much these things have to cost, and under-estimate how willing people are to pay for gadgets: 34% of Nigerians and 34% of Indonesians own tablets[0]. These are obviously not _identical_ items, but feels close enough to be a counter-point to me.
