I've been wondering why there is no VR topics or tabs.

VR is just a branch of gaming...

Not quite, but close. Most of the threads get moved into Peripherals. When it was hot topic overall, there was some discussion whether those would belong under displays or peripherals.

VR topics can be posted in PC Gaming or Peripherals as appropriate, but as @LogicalDrm alluded to there's just not enough content about it to justify having a dedicated section.

But one could argue this is because there is no VR section. Maybe with a visible dedicated discussion, individuals would be more inclined to participate in further discourse on VR, its tech and experiences.**IMO**

If i'm not mistaken, this has been suggested before, and the discussion went down this exact same path.
It was deemed that it spirals in on itself; Limited engagement breeds limited engagement and it ultimately caves in on itself resulting in a dead subforum. If I can find the previous discussion, I'll link it.

You can argue that, sure. But looking at the removed subforums and created ones, your argument lacks factual basis. Removed subforums (that I can remember) are SFF and Star Citizen. One that should be removed is E-Sports. Created subforums: separation between laptops and phones, separation between Windows and other OS' with added place for crossovers, hobby electronics.

 

For subforums that now don't have very large daily or weekly post-rate, Home Theater Equipment might have room for VR. I could argue that to be perfect place as VR is most often played where there's room for it. As in living room.
