I had a pair of Google Glasses when they first came out in beta. Looking at the HUD was a bit of a strain but these look like they don't even have a HUD.
Plus the privacy concerns and the "glasshole" nickname.
I see that there is an activity indicator LED (just like there was with Google Glass) but even the article admits there will likely be nonconsensual candid photo taking.
Which raises the question: Did things really change that much about how people perceive privacy since 2013 that now no one cares?
I'm happy with with smart watches at this point. I'm not convinced smart devises were meant to be attached to our head.

My guess is that is a mixture of glassholes from back then are willing to try again and younger people who would have been glassholes back then never got a chance and so are trying again. The societal expectations probably haven't changed, although the loudness of the different voices in society may have. I almost expect more pushback now, given the increased awareness of privacy invasion and the greater trust Google enjoie(s/d) vs Facebook
