There are many games worth playing so your one major point is simply false (other than potentially handwaving it all as crap without ever trying it or being one of those people who only ever praise AAA Uncharted-likes, similar to what fanboys/haters do for platforms like Switch, Wii or even PC). Your gifs of people being stupid and your complete misrepresentation of what the tech involves is silly, just as people wouldn't handwave flat gaming as all crap by showing random youtube videos of raging idiots falling off their gamer chairs or smashing their PC setup or whatever.
Here is a preliminary PC VR focused (plenty are on other platforms too)
list of VR games I can recommend, obviously always depending on one's preferences (even excluding obvious must have shit like Beat Saber and Half-Life: Alyx). I go back to it once in a while to add new games and even trim others that are still worthwhile just to keep it relatively short, it's only to get people started really. Oh, and this is all perfectly playable on my original Rift CV1 ~5 years from its launch, you don't need to upgrade often just as you don't buy new keyboards, mice or monitors all the time.

Space Pirate Trainer is a mainstay static wave shooter you might want but personally I've grown past such things, as well as mini game collections like Job or Vacation Simulator which is the reason you don't see many of those in the list (though I had to include various popular rhythm games at least), I prefer more in depth experiences. If you're looking for such games you may want to give them and others like Tower of Doom, Raw Data, Loco Dojo, Rags to Dishes, Cook-Out and Traffic Jams among many others a good look.
There are many more, in early access or similar. ARK-ADE is a visceral FPS with a Tronesque neon look and plenty of content to sink your teeth into, Low-Fi is a Bladerunner style sci fi game with impressive visuals, Crunch Element is a promising procedurally generated co-op romp through destructible enemy compounds, Escape from Mandrillia is a unique asymetric competitive game that seems directly inspired by Alien: Isolation, Bean Stalker is another roguelite with a substantial resource gathering and crafting component to compliment the inventive themes its name suggests, etc. Social playgrounds like Rec Room, VRChat, Bigscreen & NeosVR are also worth a look. VR even has anime visual novels like Altdeus: Beyond Chronos, its expansion Episode Yamato and Spice & Wolf and various titles of the Car Mechanic Simulator, Cooking Simulator and Thief Simulator mould that has become popular in recent times.
Then there are ports of flat games or games that optionally support VR like Skyrim VR, Pulsar: Lost Colony, Phasmophobia, No Man’s Sky, DCS, Elite Dangerous, DiRT Rally, PayDay 2, IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad, Star Wars: Squadrons, Project Wingman, Rez Infinite, Tetris Effect, War Thunder, American/Euro Truck Simulator 2 (in the beta branches), The Forest and more. Some like Fallout 4 weren’t as well done so caution is necessary, though in this case mods help. Others have been converted by fans. MotherVR is a great VR mod for Alien: Isolation, with gamepad/mkb play like PSVR's Resident Evil 7 (or Subnautica), there's a superb Outer Wilds VR mod and Risk of Rain 2 VR is also great alongside Valheim VR, Quake VR, all the classic Doom engine games and Doom 3, all as good as any native VR games. Naturally, there are also great VR content mods, like ApertureVR for Alyx and Roblox's Cave Explorer 2.
Upcoming titles include Outlier, Gravitational, Frigid VR, Dyschronia, Into the Darkness, Samurai Slaughter House, Runner, System Shock 2, Buccaneers!, Wanderer, Zenith, Undead Citadel, Sushi Ben, Green Hell VR, Captain Toonhead, Firmament, N1NE: The Splintered Mind, Hyperstacks, Vertigo 2, Panther VR, Quantaar, Paradox of Hope, Hubris, Shock Troops, Stress Level Zero's Project 4 & more.
