Or, why is the idea of AR so attractive to people? We haven't seen much AR yet. Magic Leap was faking it. The Microsoft Hololens had some great demos, but was too expensive and not very useful. Google Glass was somewhat useful but socially unacceptable. Pokémon GO was wildly successful but googles are still too expensive for it.

OK, so you can annotate the world. Now what? Games? Customer relationship management? Equipment maintenance guides? Doordash picking guidance?

I have the horrible feeling that most people who wear AR goggles will be wearing them because their employer told them to. The goggles tell them what to do.

(As usual, see "Manna" and "Hyperreality").
