I mean, if we’re using EEAAO as a comparison, I think the revolutionary use of VR tech Spielberg utilized to film something like Ready Player One a few years ago, to me, would be just as “groundbreaking.”

I guess it’s the use of the word “groundbreaking” I’m finding confusing.

You’re use of the word seems predicated on him winning an award. I mean, looking at just the Academy Awards, in the last ten years he has four Best Picture nominations, and two Best Director nominations, and he just got another one in both categories for Fabelman’s.

He’s currently sitting at number four for the most nominations of all time in the Director’s category.

Does he actually have to win another award to be considered “groundbreaking?”

I think some of the best stuff he has done in his recent films has been the CGI in 'Tintin', 'The BFG', and 'Ready Player One'; his visual style, freed from the constraints of practical physics, is a joy to behold when it takes full-flight, so I hope he explores virtual filmmaking more in future.
