I have to assume there are folks out there for whom the maximum chonky appearance is appealing.

I think we still have some room to grow there in terms of aesthetic for the majority though.

undoubtedly a progressive achievement in the field, despite it all

So does Meta and it's the reason they aren't actually releasing this as a product. They just showed us where they're at and gave us an idea on where they want to go in the next few years.

A preference for 1950s Buddy Holly glasses would be a fashion choice, because such glasses are rare today. It loses all of that appeal and becomes a commodity when it's the only choice for a product category.
Mark said they need to iterate to make it more cool, and that's why they won't release this just yet. It looks like it's going to be a dev kit
