You could say the opposite thing about Android: people embracing it in spite of the possibility of a screen they take everywhere and look at all the time controlled by an "advertising company". And in practice, the same thing is true for Android and Glass: there aren't ads popping up in your face all the time, because that would be a sure way to alienate all your users (which is one of the reasons why the "they're just an advertising company" phrase doesn't give any real insight). I think it's more likely that having a giant thing on your face that doesn't actually do all that much is more the reason for people seeming to start drawing the line with Glass. That and meme status ("glasshole") and echo chamber effects (most people outside of tech circles don't care either way).
