tl;dr: in response to pressure from the apple vision pro, google killed their internal "iris" smart glasses effort in order to combine their efforts with samsung & work on one ui for xr & another unnamed headset. in doing so, they've also decided to let all oems skin android xr just like on phones. they're also working on something called "micro xr", but no one knows what that is yet.
