If I understand your response correctly, you're arguing that the glasses themselves aren't the issue, it's the shifts that come with accepting the glasses.

They may ironically have the reverse effect. I guarantee that corporations are already cataloging your facial expressions. Between Ring, Flock, Apple, Google, Netflix, Samsung, etc. there are many pictures of all our faces with rich annotation. Currently most people don't even think about how thoroughly they're being watched. These douchy glasses may actually draw attention to the matter.
