While that dream of AR is cool, what we're really talking about is simpler stationary AR for VR headsets, which isn't theoretically so useful yet. Mainly it'd be cool for situational awareness for those who need it, but not much else for (non-casual) gamers. People are probably a bit unjustifiably excited for that. 

Passthrough AR for an actual standalone headset that is small in form factor like a pair of goggles is a different story and people generally were never even thinking about this possibility yet to get hyped by until now with the Quest Pro leaks that just happened.
