They do, but we have to remember that big companies like that file patents all the time for concepts they never actually use. Apple is famous for it.

It's true, it's even possible they're sitting on it so nobody else can do it. But at the same time I feel like if they felt they could get away with it they'd do it. It's closer to reality than we'd like to think.

I mean you could say that about any of these patents too: https://gizmodo.com/apple-patents-iphone-mac-watch-windowless-car-vr-socks-1848951448

But the chances that any of them will be implemented are very slim.
