Xbox head: The ‘final destination’ for VR gaming should be a HoloLens style headset

Neat,  though I'm not sure how the quality of the holograms has anything to do with the significant drawbacks that had to be made to the hardware to allow it to be wireless.

The point is that the hardware is fine... Why would you assume it is not? The hardware is fine enough to create a very good experience all together that is actually certainly as good pure VR, just diffefrent. Microsoft focused on that too (to get back to your initial point)

I guess my issue mostly lies with Microsofts insistence to bring up Hololense when they talk about VR.

Hololense is an AR device. Which is very cool, and I imagine AR will have a huge place in a lot of aspects of our lives in the future, but it's so much less demanding than VR. A high quality VR headset is closer to a fully contained VR headset than the Hololense is.
