If this is the case, then I think these vendors are jumping in to to this before it is ready. Also, I think Meta is requiring manual sign ups for users, and I would not want to worry about the privacy implications of that.
I will bring my apps to the glasses only once Meta has offered a fully launched SDK and store. We are testing internally of course, but we really don't want to collect user information.
I know this started as a question, but it just kind of went on from there. (2/2)

@mikedoise So I dug into this. The SDK uses Apple's ExternalAccessory framework, which requires MFi certification. Meta's glasses don't have that yet. If you submit to the App Store with the SDK included, Apple will reject it. If it somehow slips through, they can pull the app and flag your account. Repeat violations can cost you your entire developer account. (1/3)

@mikedoise While I agree with all your points, you are asking a community that was happy to spend money to buy into the developer beta just so they could test voiceover back in the day. On their primary phone. With no backups. And no ability to restore their phone if they screwed it up. Just reminiscing, apple turned 50.
