Well indeed.
In terms of big full length walking around and shooting stuff VR exclusives, there's pretty much just Alyx. Walking Dead Saints and Sinners is supposed to be decent. It's in my library but I've never tried it.
Plenty of smaller games like Beat Saber are fun and easy for anyone to pick up and play. They've got that Wii-appeal.
Cockpit games like racing sims are an easy conversion. People have been raving about Gran Turismo VR.
Astro-bot was decent but outside a few gimmicks there was nothing particularly VR special about it.
It's still in the enthusiast's toy space right now. Not sure it will ever really get out of that phase at any price. It's not something you go past in a shop and go wow, it's something you have to try out, and in order to do that you'd already have to be vaguely interested in it.
