It has 'industrial product' written all over it, no matter how much Apple markets it with models sat on a sofa. I hope it succeeds here. It has a lot of uses in an area where the high-price is easily swallowed.

But as with every other Apple product I expect the 2nd gen to strip out a lot of the expensive, pointless parts to lower costs and prices.

Proprietary prescription lenses? That external piece of glass is both expensive and heavy. The outward-facing display is really just eating the battery. The eye thing is weird. All that? Gone in the consumer model in favour of an opaque plastic front, M1 processor and room for spectacles. End price? $1500+tax.
