C'mon man. AR glasses and phones can be used the exact same way.

I'd rather read articles on an AR display than a little 6.6 inch screen.

If you don't want ads, the solution is running open source OS's on these things (which is the most likely outcome for people here anyway), not avoiding the hardware entirely.

Im waiting for prices to come down but having experienced AR glasses before, they're a great compromise between VR (too sweaty) and having to use either a larger laptop/ipad.
