Content creation isn’t the same thing as platform-specific development; issues or interests in content creation pertaining to things like gender or race are not unique to those platforms, nor is there anything unique about that platform that really changes those discussions (though whether such a hypothetical issue / interest could exist is in itself a perhaps a topic for discussion). If we’re discussing something like the artistic or narrative content of games and applications, then it’s relevant to have representation that may present differing perspectives on those subjects. When it comes to the challenges and curiosities of developing for VR (over any other platform), one’s gender has no relevance - it’s a diversity for the sake of diversity and makes as much sense as picking people for their ethnic background, sexual orientation, or favourite pasta sauce.
