re: Google Glass essentially flopped...

Sums it up perfectly.

So where is the misstep? Should Google be embarrassed by Glass?

There's always a motive behind threads like these. It otherwise makes no sense to declare something a flop in its infancy and completely ignore the actual innovation and purpose behind it. A flop is something that is decidedly ignored by the market, goes away, and doesn't come back before it's superseded by a different and superior or universally accepted solution. Ignored is an important word here, because Google glass was the opposite of ignored.
