@Danny: It seems like that developers are trying to create a utopian virtual world filled with socially 'normal' things like...chatting to people

I understand this, but I haven't actually tried it yet so I'm willing to give it a chance. I don't think Home revolves exclusively around the "lifestyle" elements. That may just be how Sony is positioning it in demos.

I always try to keep in mind that not everyone can easily interact with the world in the typical way, and something like this may be very helpful for them.

So let's see.
