VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it (www.pcgamer.com)

The frame rate doesn't matter if I start moving with a controller while I am sitting down IRL. I don't get the motion sickness if I have to actually walk to move in the game, but the disconnect between moving in the game not matching the movement of my body is what really causes motion sickness for me.

But that's something you can get used to, I fly FPV drones and that feeling was overwhelming in the beginning (way more intense than any VR I tried), but if you keep at it eventually you get used it.

I kept at it for 5 years; I never got rid of that kind of nausea. Only the nausea induced by the visual effect which I had even just playing, like, Work Simulator, at first.
