There's no reason it has to be one or the other, you've created a false dilemma

Well, there is a reason, specific to these glasses. The reason is Meta.

If someone tells me they trust Meta not to break the law or violate their privacy, I assume they haven't been paying attention to Meta in the news.

It's not beyond the realm of possibility that we could use the hardware with 3rd party software. With the Quest line of VR headsets, Meta was pretty open to letting devs mess with the hardware. At least during the time I was using one.
