I've said it for a long time: the main reason Meta wanted to created glasses or VR/AR is to circumvent the privacy rules that Google and Apple slowly introduced in their App Stores.

They see AR/VR as the next revolutionary platform, so they're betting the farm on being first movers in a mass-market AR/VR space that they anticipate to exist in the future.
