Leaks of Apple's attempts to create a cheaper consumer version of this tech in an eyeglasses form factor go back to around the time of ARKit's release in 2017.
Every time they restart the effort, they eventuslly come to the conclusion that the tech just isn't there yet.
Currently, the short term plan (now that developers have something they can work with) is to produce a lighter/cheaper version of the shipping headset, while they continue long term work on an eyeglasses form factor for the consumer market.
