Except they aren't designed to be used that way or marketed that way. Just because they could be useful in certain niche scenarios doesn't mean most of them are used that way. Also, sign language is too complex for accurate translation using cameras like this. It utilizes facial expressions and space to determine context and intention.
Another comment mentioned meta glasses don't have AR. I stand corrected.
Regarding your sign language comment, I'm no sure. For example, here is an article of AR glasses being able of doing that: https://deafvibes.com/ai-and-accessibility-technologies/smart-glasses-meet-sign-language/
But it was just an example. When I thought of those glasses with cameras on them, I thought "oh, AR glasses"! I just realized recently that lots of cheaper glasses don't have a display, just the cameras.
