That sounds terrible. They're already hard enough to see/read over other UI elements, how are they going to be visible at all over random things in your field of vision?
Thing is you can't refract and diffract light in actual AR glasses, as light passes through, all you have to play with is opacity.
This means you need something like Vision Pro which fakes transparency via cameras, which are then blended into the final image (which then you can process with "Liquid Glass" etc.)
So given this, what do we mean by "upcoming AR glasses". How are they upcoming? Vision Pro came out and it failed. You can be certain Apple started work on Liquid Glass before they could process their failure, they were anticipating Vision Pro to be their Next Big Thing, and aligned everything to it.
Now it just looks tone deaf. They forced their most successful platforms to look like their least successful platform. Awkward.
> is obviously making things harder to read
I don't think it's hard to read, honestly. I checked all the photos, videos, etc. of the new UI and it looks great.
But, training the users? I don't know - I think they wanted to before (the translucency in iOS 7) but couldn't- so they waited until they could.

the clue is in the name.
