Some people will. Others will refuse, and very likely refuse to interact with people with such devices. The "gargoyles" of Snow Crash (people living their lives with full recording devices on them at all times to upload to the metaverse) were not well liked.
And lest we forget more recent history, the term "Glassholes" came into existence to refer similarly to people with "I don't know if their camera/mic on their face is recording me or not!" devices on their heads.

That was during the same years when SOPA/PIPA inspired half the companies on the internet to go black in protest, the same companies which now fold over in response to authoritarian demands from governments. We now live in a very different world than that one.

Norms do shift. I remember the fuss over GMail "reading" your mail.
Today we already have dashcams, bodycams, security cameras, and doorbell cameras recording a lot of spaces previously presumed to be unmonitored. Another 10 years and continuous recording will be commonplace.
A quote I often remember -- don't know the source:
> We live in a unique moment in time. Cameras are everywhere, and we can see them. Previously, they were not there. In the future, we will not be able to see them.
