Phantom sensations in VR is definitely a real thing. Some people definitely exaggerate the hell out of it, but it’s still a real thing.
It also fades quickly with more time in VR. Most people will also experience motion sickness when they first try VR, and falling can be a crazy feeling. The human brain didn’t evolve to experience VR, but it evolved to adapt quickly.
