Am I supposed to take VR seriously?

Well, VR has a better appeal than 3D, simply because it wants to put you inside of the game. About comparisons with VirtualBoy, they aren't valid. VB was made in a time were it wasn't technicaly possible to make VR happen. It's the same than saying that people should quit poligonal games when Vectrex launched.

I get the technological advancement -- but the overall product design still screams virtual boy.

VB had many failures -- maybe the product design may not have been the worst, but there's an obvious reason no one tried to sell the "put this thing on your head" gimmick.
