Countless smartphone users like to use Instagram, Tiktok, YouTube, mobile games, and so on, all things only possible with a screen. Meanwhile nothing could prevent Google and Apple from implementing the same kind of AI controls on their phones. The only thing that remains is the laser projector and it doesn't seem like people are excited about it.
Many don't actually want a "world without displays", and goals like a better "human experience" look vastly different between different people. I'm guessing those startup founders like interacting with people and want tech to be in the background, meanwhile I'm the opposite. The smartphone in its current shape happens to be the compromise most users find good enough, and it doesn't involve a lot of voice-based commands even though they've been supported to some degree for years. Maybe this device is good, but it's not made for the mainstream user of 2023.
