I don't know why you're getting downvoted, because you're absolutely right. Most human architecture is highly procedural, with many tradesmen specializing in highly repetitive, focused tasks, that have predictable, reliable outcomes, in order to produce safe structures based on well-understood principles.

As for the VR thing, I think that will gain less traction because the idea of sleeping one's life away, strapped into goggles and headphones, is only so attractive.
