Not too long ago I reported a guy who, from my perspective appeared to be reach hacking. The report even got accepted. He was unbanned shortly after though, turns out the guy was a youtuber (I only found him because at some point I noticed the clip I used to report him had like 30 views, so I tried to see if anyone may have shared it, he did that).
Here is my perspective:
Here is his:
When you watch it from my perspective, it looks like I am being hit from a really large distance. And not even just because of FOV, you can literally count the blocks on the ground and from my perspective I am being hit from at least 5 blocks away at times. From his its just a simple combo that happens within a normal hitting range.
[On an unrelated note, before you call me an idiot for calling the leap feather a fly hack, I forgot that thing existed, its a rarely used item. The last time I saw anyone use it since the update was literally in this one fight. And I have not seen one since. Also, somehow, that clip was enough to get the guy banned by an actual moderator, not sure if due to reach or flying, but it had to be one of the two.]
You see: the other player, according to his forums account, lives in japan, I live in germany. He probably has like 200-300 ping on average (if not more), Meanwhile I can go below 20 on a good day. A difference in ping so high can lead to effects like that, at least since the update (I have not seen something like that happen this way ever before the update... I've played on this server for the first time back in 2018 for crying out loud).
Up until the update, ping usually just caused you to have weird movement, visibly lag, "teleport" due to lag, and so on. Now it makes anyone with a high click rate look like they got 27 blocks of reach. And according to a few other, rejected, reports I had made on "reach hackers" since the update, it is apparently a completely normal thing...
From the VR users perspective, it looks normal. From the other players perspective it looks like blatant reach.

Hey, I personally don’t use or own a VR headset, but I don’t believe that having a VR headset guarantees you any advantage like ‘reach’, that’s likely related to something else.
If you think that a player is using illegal cheats, you can report it here.
And on the Bedrock network, VR headsets are allowed, but they aren’t allowed on the Java network.

Not sure about VR, but about "reach" you gotta know that sometimes its just ping (as much as it may often sound like a cheap way to excuse literally all things that either go wrong or look like hacks).

What happened with ignacioblade literally the same as what happened with me. From their perspective, they are close enough to hit the player. Form the other players perspective it looks like a reach hack. In VR its due to a bug as it seems, in my case its because of ping. Same thing, but caused by different things.
If you are gonna ban VR, you might as well go for anyone with a ping higher than 100, the results those two things produce are literally the same. The only form of external assistance that is (and should) be bannable is using software or hack clients. Input devices and bad internet shouldn't (unless you could somehow prove that someone is making their internet intentionally bad to get an advantage).
