That's how it will start, but once people see how they can not just replace but enhance their capabilities, demand for general application will grow. There are plenty of valid concerns around privacy, ethics, etc, but that's never stopped the march of technology before.

It did quite a dent on cybernetics, electronic implants and wearables so far. Remember google glasses for instance?

I don't think privacy/ethics is what caused Google Glass to fail; I think the technology was just premature. VR itself went through decades of failure before finally catching on with Oculus. The market for AR products like a Glass successor will probably become even bigger than that for VR. HoloLens 2 is already making nice inroads in the enterprise market. AR wearables might really break into the mainstream once Apple finally unveils what they've been working on for years, now.
