I'm not seeing a lot of people talking on the phone outside.

Texting in public was never an issue. Not sure what you mean here.

Questions like what song is running are mundane.

The advantages of qr code are still very limited. Restaurant menu? Sure. What else? Perhaps wifi code? Okay.

But what else really? Driving perhaps I can see that. Instead of adding are in the car I might want to wear an AR car version but what then?

I don't believe people will be willing to elwear any type of glasses if they don't have to every day. If you then don't have it every day it will not become a sane default.

Sure, that's down a lot as calling in general has dropped off. It was a Whole Thing early on. Especially people on earbud+mic combos or headsets.

This and the call thing were a big deal in pop culture, even if the circles you ran in between about 2005-2013 weren't bothered by them (many were bothered).

99% of what normal people use the Internet for is mundane. And that may be understating it.

As for the rest—I guess if you can't see it you can't see it. The use cases are endless (like, think bigger with the QR codes—not just linking to menus, but cueing AR to replace entire surfaces with something else; now apply that "think bigger" to everything else you dismissed) And maybe I'm wrong! But I'm pretty sure it's going to be a big deal.
