"But the reality is that the uptake of hardware by firms to support AR at a scale that would support a company, is nowhere close to ready.

I'm telling you, I've skinned this cat from every conceivable angle."

Ok, that angle I can agree on. I don't think there is any way a small company can provide an AR component and hit it big.

However, if an AR solution is bundled next to other computing infrastucture, with the import of files etc. handled, I've not seen anyone dismissing this concept.

The problem is that you need the entire infrastucture for project management and engineering to be digitized, and then you can add up the AR component to that.

Then AR is just one more "check box" in the feature lists of application suites offered by the incumbents. I think it will become an important checkbox, but like you said, there won't be an "Uber of AR" like there is no "Uber of DWG import".
