This comparison is like saying that, because a car can be used to run over pedestrians at any time, there is no reason to be alarmed about people installing the Crosswalk-pocalypse 5000 (now with 30% more spikes!) on their front bumper.
Of course we know people can discretely record you with a phone. The difference is that the fraction of people doing that is very small, while the percentage of people doing that with Meta glasses is basically 100%.
care to give me any citation at all on that?
Honestly, pulling it out of my ass.
Now your turn... what is your definition of "very small", and where is your citation that a larger percentage of the population uses their phone camera to discretely creep on people?
