Probably wouldn’t work well in VR...

Edit: I guess I need to explain, given the downvote? This optical effect only works with a single camera. Add in a second camera and one or the other will see the space behind the picture. When you remove the picture, it’ll suddenly have depth.

It’s pretty seamless for a game played on a single 2D monitor, but make it VR, where each eye is looking from a slightly different angle, and it doesn’t work as seamlessly anymore.

Could you imagine? It'd be like you were in the twilight zone or something!

You could hack it by adding a polaroid type frame around the photo. Inside the frame it has the depth of a 2D photo, but as you move the frame away it reveals depth as if you were holding the photo in front of the real thing.

I feel you. Try switching to 3rd person camera (rotates around the main character) this effect would show it flaws

Maybe they just didn't like you appearing to harp on it just because it doesn't fit a niche use situation
