Counterpoint: The Oculus Quest 2 costs $300, and I have yet to see a headset come close to it's level of adoption, let alone it's price. AR will be wildly expensive for the foreseeable future, and by the time we've fully democratized it there will be some new computing paradigm right around the corner.

Sure, more people will likely prefer AR to VR in terms of comfort, but you need to manage your expectations. A "light set of glasses" isn't going to come within spitting distance of the resolution, FOV, contrast or brightness of even the earliest VR headsets.
