I'm excited about the use cases, and leery-but-cautiously-optimistic about tying the experience to meta, but am I the only one worried about buying hardware from a company that's synonymous with monopolistic price-gouging?

It seems to me that these are subsidized by Meta. I'll leave it to the reader to speculate on why Meta would do such a thing. 1. https://www.ray-ban.com/usa/sunglasses/RB2140%20UNISEX%20original%20wayfarer%20classic-black/805289126577 https://www.ray-ban.com/usa/sunglasses/RB2140%20UNISEX%20ori...
