Because VR is harder to market to normalfags who have not experience it themselves and, just like with FPS, a prettier picture draws more eyes. Plus, there are some serious problems which are posed by going for wider FoV that are difficult to solve without either ballooning the cost or making some end user unfriendly compromises. With pancake lenses being the new hotness everyone's chasing, don't expect FoV to improve much for a while either.

Once you try it though, wide FoV is awesome. Hell, even adding 20-30 degrees to Index level FoV would be a world changing improvement, don't even need the +50 Pimax has.
