My thought too, not least because being obtrusive avoids all the pesky social issues of appearing to be trying to obscure that you're possibly filming.
When it then also costs 3x a regular pair of Raybans (UK prices at least) and if you're happy to look like you're going around spying on people you can buy a pair of cheap spy glasses on Amazon for 1/10th the price, I don't understand what market segment they think they're going for.
As just a camera, if they were detachable and visible enough that you're not looking like you're trying to get away with something, I'd be far more interested. If they're going to be permanently mounted, they need to be invisible.
