I don't believe that for a second. Even 50% lighter and it's still going to be more uncomfortable than not wearing one. All so you can have a blurrier screen?

If/when it gets to the weight/comfort of normal glasses then sure. But that's at least a decade away. Probably more.

I'm not so sure about that.

Even after 36 years of wearing glasses (current ones weight barely 20 gram), they still bother me, and I fiddle with them constantly.

I spent nearly 40 years of my life glasses-free. Now I need to wear glasses to read a computer display without eye strain. I'd go back to glasses-free in a heartbeat, if I could.
