People always try to make this argument but it can't really be denied that it's a slightly different situation having a handheld utility you can pull out vs being 'strapped in' and disconnected from the world for hours at a time.
I'm sure there will be some valid usecases that come up, but the difference here is they've entered an established market which was already about as far as it was going to go. Using more premium screens, lenses, finishes and throwing more power at it doesn't change the overall concept of how it works, and why it's not been more widely adopted.
Augmented reality is more likely to be the one that takes off. If you lose that 'disconnect' feeling and package it in a pair of normal looking glasses and it'll become mainstream, the tech's just not there yet to do it in an affordable package.
