You reckon Apple made money on it's VR division either?
Almost nobody is making big money on VR, because nobody wants to work together to make it into a widely compatible common standard. If you could have one headset that worked on all platforms, for a reasonable price, you'd get a lot more take up, and nicer headsets costing more would make more sense.
Take a look at Meta revenue numbers, they can afford billions in R&D investment just fine. I'm not sure what market share you're talking about but there's plenty of money for them to afford the VR research they do.
