The new Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses do have a display. But in any case, these applications work almost just as fine with speakers as well, and the Ray-Ban glasses had those and supports reading documents, describing surrounds etc.
Plain glasses with camera come much cheaper. Though now that I looked it up, the Meta glasses are surprisingly affordable as well.
edit: scratch that, I don’t know what I was looking… For me Ray-Bans would be 500€ and Metas maybe 1000€.

Lack of imagination. One can easily imagine scenarios where glases can be useful outside filming other people. Simple tasks like getting a receipt and scanning it before throwing away, or getting dietary feedback on a menu items would be quite more easily achieved with smartglasses than otherwise. AR-assisted navigation in cities with to image data could be quite useful as well.
Not to mention if one has sight issues; I can imagine describing environments or reading texts being wildly useful for some.
Perhaps consider first banning devices that are designed for secret filming, e.g. “car key” cameras, watch cameras, pen cameras, powerback cameras, and yes, glass cameras… You can find them from Amazon for <100€, which is much more affordable option in the first place.
But these also have display: www.meta.com/fi/ai-glasses/meta-ray-ban-display/
