Other than Google, I've never heard of anyone in the AR industry try to classify Glass as AR.

The usecases, the tech, the hurdles that have to be crossed are just fundamentally different. It's a bit like a calculator versus a computer. They might technically both be calculators, but a computer is exponentially more complex with entirely different usecases (and at a greater magnitude).

HoloLens is actual AR, and Apple only ever calls ARKit-related features AR, which is true - that's mobile AR.
