Current VR headsets don't really produce text you'd want to read for 8 hours a day. We need "retina" level displays (which I believe even Apple hasn't managed to pull off with their VR headset yet) that completely hide the pixels for that to work.
If you own a VR headset, there are several Linux and Windows window managers that will make this work. I believe HoloLens showcased theoretical floating windows years ago but I haven't seen anything from HoloLens in a while, I think it went military/industrial operator exclusive.

Yes they do. I currently have one that is perfectly fine readable.
Yeah, I can have multiple monitors in VR setting.
But what hasn't happened is
1 - No one has made an app with a camera passthrough window to your desk.
2 - Windows for some reason still has a problem with multi-monitors unless you actually physically have monitors mounted.
Didn't the Quest Pro do that? I think AR virtual monitors on Mac was a thing they showcased.
it'll be a cold day in hell before I strap facebook to my body.
Well, with climate change ...
