Uber has burned up over $100bn in capital, let's not pretend that hurt feelings is what's holding the smart glasses sector back. Maybe companies don't want to try because they've looked into it and decided that a pair of sunglasses with an EULA is too hard of a sell.

This. Inventors, either individual or corporate, are not afraid of repeating failures. Every inventor is 100% convinced that their version is revolutionary. Overconfidence is the problem, not sensitive feelings.
