This might be the dumbest take I've heard today.

You're forgetting that AR headgear requires to WEAR THAT THING ON YOUR FACE AT ALL TIMES

No matter how compact (don't even start talking about some techbro "all conteined in a lens" type of shit), there will absolutely, always be people who will refuse to wear it. (Ask any former glasses user who went for contact lenses)

A phone you glance at and is in your pocket only when you need it is a million times more convenient than something that goes over your eyes all of the time.

Your world where external compact computing devices (phone/tablet/smartwatch/a slab of glass) are no longer needed is mostly constructed out of flatulence of the technology brotherhood.
